Breath of Life


The cool breeze blowing through your hair,

As you twirl and twirl, and let the strangers stare.

Just close your eyes and let go,

Of the fear that drags you down, down below.

Be free, be alive,

Don't be afraid, deep you shall dive.

you have to let it all go,

and be free of the evil, let your colors show.

Breathe the air, feel the breeze,

smell the flowers, see the trees.

Look up at the sky,

Think of when you shall die.

And shall you be deemed  into heaven,

Or have you not learned your lesson?

Listen to the birds chirping,

think if in another  life, you could have chirped.

Sing your favorite song,

And the parts you don't know, just hum along.

Read a book under some patchy green shade,

until slowly, the light begins to fade.

Sometimes, you have to take a day or so,

and notice the little things, as they move along and go.

See the little ones growing up,

See the older ones, spitting teeth in a cup.

The process of life is so fantastic,

No, I'm not being sarcastic.

Take hold of the little moments as they pass,

The feeling of life, the feeling of bare feet on grass.
