Breathing the World

Breathe in, Breathe out

I feel a goddess rising.

Breathe in, Breathe out.

With the new moon on the horizon.

With each breath of air.

I light a fire in my veins.

With heart planted in the earth,

Let water wash away these pains.

If current reality could stop breathing.

Perhaps I could believe in hope.

But I find this place, a hellish daze.

Where we are at the end of the rope.

It's time for a mothers hand,

let some magic into this land.

To rebirth a nation.

But....

I breathe in....

I breathe out...

And the air is still dry and cold.

I like to write in free verse mostly, but am heavily inspired by Emily Dickenson, and tend to create my own rules and ideas as well.
