Do you ever wonder where your unused breath goes
not conveying a sound or delivering a thought
just caught in the wind as the willows gather in
the breath of others like you

When you've used it up and cast it out
seemingly without a purpose or direction
do you feel guilty for the breath you use
or the pain inflicted by your heavy breathing

I cannot feel for this, because I am alone
remembering how you used to whisper to me
telling me of the love you felt which was as empty
as your wasted breath

Awwwwwwww...this is sad...and has some profound moments...

I like it..

It is to do with tree-ferns:
mamuka, pongo, wheki.
Shelter under here is so easily understood.
