Breath

Laying in the dark listening to and counting my heart beats, I live!

Julio Iglesias belting his heart out the only way he knows how, I live!

In this stillness and calm I live!

Every breath lending tempo to each perfect heartbeat. I live!

Shutting and blinding the world out.

Appreciating the ease with which my chest dances this all so familiar rhythm, I live!

The flesh at one with the spirit.

An effortless communion with the soul.

With my body I feel, my spirit bleeds as the soul heals.

I live!
