That’s The Way It Is

I have
found my heart
it is in
the arms
of tender
veins pump
your blood
I have
before inhaled
a thousand
pulls of lung
to breathe
your breath
and I
have nothing
to fear
I can now
let go

(sigh) Inhale gently, now exhale, there there, now inhale again the fresh air all around you! (big hugggssssss) This is lovely, sweet friend, it is your lungs that must always be fulfilled so never let anyone else take all control of them, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

....or hold fast, because you own the choice.

Excellent poem, this. A stunning width of thought riding a slender ribbon of words.....
