....I just keep breathing....


these days,
my thoughts of you
are scattered
in between moments
made up of life
and the demands of the day

I like to stay busy
my mind in idle
can be cruel
questioning my heart
when I know
the answers aren’t there

...but should be, somehow


and your absence....this missing you
is a well, made from
a kind of suffocating sadness
brimming with
anguished tears


I throw wishes in,
watching helplessly
as they drown

.....it chokes me
those memories.....
these damn emotions.....
the endless echoing .....‘ why ’


I clear my throat
focus on something ~ anything else
and tell myself

.....just keep breathing.....

dry your tears dear one
let your thoughts drift aimlessly
remember good things
breathe in the essence of love
filling your wonderful heart
~*~
pray instead of wish
for faith is trust perfected
immutable hope
incontrovertible love
absolutely lives in you

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

"just keep breathing" ~ at times in my life,  even that, is easier said than done...

~Emotions wistfully, and ever so poetically, expressed.

It's been a while, SEA!

Loving Light,

feeling a bit out of breath ....

sometimes the higher we rise,
the harder the air
our emotions do weigh so

it's something we sometimes take for granted

breathing

Susan,
You pen love and it's side effects so very well. I can feel it.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

"Just keep breathing"
If only it were just that simple.
A beautiful read, and excellent write. I don't think it ever gets easier, rather, we just learn to do it more efficiently.

There is great impact in the ending...
I almost choke on your last verses here.

Been through it.

perhaps expressing it so well will facilitate the ease of the air in and out..
