away
giant green boughs
shading the calm waters
overhanging the misty blue
tranquil..

tranquil
lake smooth as skin
partiers sleeping late
leaving morning to birds trilling
softly

softly
harmony breached
unsettling calm anxious
echoed shrills of flame uprisings
panic.

panic
calms with deep breaths
given it's own time to
reintegrate absorbed into
the whole

spirit
flows from within
carried on silent wind
expanding, contracting in all
welcome
However long the night, the dawn will break.

welcome
your Hey, Baby
comes across the phone lines
putting homecoming visions in
my mind

my mind
fuzzy with pain
as my breathing struggles
to inhale and exhale with ease
help, please

help, please
is this dis-ease?
is this lung mess from stress?
relaxing into happiness
I smile

I smile
then cough awhile
getting worn out daily
with my lungs breathing just barely
sleepy
However long the night, the dawn will break.

sleepy
I drag myself
to mourning prayers trading
trading exhaled grief for joyful
inhale


feel better, willow xx
