My heart thumps
drumming in my chest
loudly, deafening
crushing all rhyme and reason
nothing makes sense

this airs so dense
I can not capture my breath

so hard, it is to breathe
   it sickens me

til arms are flailing
in mid-air

sinking deeper
then suddenly it is there

soothing, calming
quieting fears

I hold it dear

it is not to be
yet it is

because it was
gifted to me

perhaps it was
or was not meant to be

  but it remains

       cherished.

A most prized possesion, something

I can feel the flutters, the breath and breathlessness of the scene taking place

Hey Donna~ I am liking this expressive, emotional poem of yours.
It's that love/hate thingy and I love how you got that all across.

It is sooooo good to read you again.
Hugs, gal~

I love the personal outlook on life these lines portray...like a window into one's soul...speaking to the philosophy of living...

This resonates within me, reminding me of my touchstones that sustain... my blessings whatever the circumstance. *S* Beautiful write!!!

I thought I had responded to this poem before tonight. I almost felt you take the deep breaths to calm yourself as you found your life line. Well, maybe not "you" - but in the poem. Make sense? I like this poem, GS ~ and I am glad you are back and sharing the talent of 'you'.
