POETIC BREATHS

Life- motley moments
Tied with slender breaths
I dare not exhale quickly
Lest some escape these threads.

Moments shooting stars
Brilliant spots of light
Illuminating dark corners
Still whisper quiet.

Glide along noiselessly
I don't hear their sound
Eyes closed they drench me
In their rhythm I drown.

Moments healing poetry
Moments hurtful prose
Moments that I let go
And ones that I hold close!

Life is but some moments
Tied with slender breaths
Things for whom are lifetimes spent
In moments can be had.
