Just Breathe...

Just Breathe


Lost in the dark,
And I think of you,
Above me,
Near the light,
Eyes shinning in the dark…

There is no air here,
Suffocating,
Nothing to inhale,
Then I hear you whisper,
Somewhere near,
“Just breathe,
I am here…”

Shadows closing in,
Feeling like,
This is the end,
Not fighting it,
Not anymore,
Too dark,
Can’t see,
Then I hear you whisper;
“Think of me…

Trying baby,
Trying so hard,
Trying to just breathe…

"Just Breathe..." sounds esoteric, despite its clear closing lines.

A stimulating and thoughts' developer poem, I have enjoyed.

Happy Healthy Sunday!
