Breathe

Breathe in, 

Now hold it 

Listen to the world around you 

When your life is on hold everyone else's is clear 

And you can hear their breathing 

Like winds blowing through a willow tree 

In. Out. In. Out. In. Out.   

Now breathe again 

And notice each breath and it's movement through your body 

Whistling through you like in a tunnel 

Then swirling right back out  

Life is the sound of breaths and the rhythm they keep 

The colorless air inside you keeps moving like the hands of a clock 

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. 

In. Out. In. Out. 

I'm alive.

Nice poem Raya. Simple and eloquent. I however believe it is not the most original piece, which is definitely okay!

This poem is quite a a hypnotic potion of life, el viver. I have been looking for passionate poets for a long time , philosophical, metaphysical poets such as myself and i have only found a few.
This poem actually made me breathe. Lovely written
