BREATH
I hold my breath
at our boys at play
not noticing
that I am watching
I hold my breath
looking into your eyes
washed over
by all this love
I hold my breath
following a bird’s flight
rising high above
becoming a dot
I hold my breath
smelling freshly cut grass
remembering
childhood dreams
I hold my breath
at the blowing wind
playing with leaves
on our trees
I hold my breath
to achieve a stillness
to center myself
on importance
I hold my breath
just to calm down
my running
through life
I hold my breath
almost every day
just to savour
my happiness
