Believing In What Breathes She believes in others more for them to see that belief lift their spirits and she breathes… She believes in the child and helps to wipe away the “can’t, don’t, no” of their existence and she breathes… She believes in the forces of nature, the good and bad of the wind and sun, rain, tornadoes, hurricanes sweeping through her days… and she breathes… She believes in things she can’t see and things that she can and she breathes… She believes in the aged, that they have mostly lead good lives and still have a lesson to teach, so she listens, and she breathes… She believes in what she hears and doesn’t hear, reads between the lines, separating chaff from wheat and she breathes… She believes in the you of you, true of you, she holds tight to your dreams when you lose them, so they may be returned, unharmed, still safe… and she breathes… She believes in a smile that in passing it around others will smile, and it will pass on, and in that gesture, the flutter of a butterfly’s wing will create a breeze felt miles away… and she breathes… She believes in the young and the middle aged, those who wage truth, who fight the good fight, lose graciously, strive to attend the next battle and live to live another day, and she breathes… She believes in a true love, one that is given for sake of giving, that will be accepted for the sake of the gift, one that will either be here… or there… and she breathes… She believes in one man who believes in her ~ because ~ and she breathes… She believes in breathing and in breathing believes to breathe one more day… and she breathes… 01.17.01 revised 01.10.02 |

She believes in a smile that in passing it around others will smile, and it will pass on, and in that gesture, the flutter of a butterfly’s wing will create a breeze felt miles away… and she breathes… ============================= She believes in a true love, one that is given for sake of giving, that will be accepted for the sake of the gift, one that will either be here… or there… and she breathes… She believes in one man who believes in her ~ because ~ and she breathes… ======================================= and she should add this to the list ... then breathe |

And this is definitely one poem to "toss in the pile" as it is truly a breath of fresh air, and this could be a "winner"! For to do all of the things mentioned in your poem, it is the breath that gives her that life and spirit to carry on and believe in herself to allow others to believe in themselves. I had to pick these as my favorite lines - She believes in one man who believes in her ~ because ~ and she breathes… I loved this one, and what a job well done indeed! ~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (01-11-2002 01:08 AM).] |

Sunshine, you breathed life in to these words, so much so that they leapt from the page straight into my heart. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
