no distractions
just time to feel
these things inside
which hide and steal
the precious moments
through my day
what starts as fear
and ends this way

a second look
a breath within
to pause and feel
what was and when
the things that happened
the cause and rhyme
they all take up
space and time

Just Breathe

to hear myself
and once again
not drown it out
with might have been
to think and play
write and sing
and feel inside
what’s always been

this brings me back
to a younger time
the voice inside
was always mine
not hollow, angry bitter true
companion is inside of you

Just Breathe

but time moves on
and still i am
a thoughtful mind
an older man
as i march on
i’ll think and rhyme
to breathe and see
and feel this time

Just Breathe
