breathe

Breathe

Right now I’m tired-

I’m beat-

I’m just weak-

I’m looking for you-

To sit by your feet-

And just listen to you breathe-

And breathe-

Most likely never exchange a word-

Just sit by your feet-

Because it’s the best place in the world-

And you Breathe-

And I am at ease-

In a symphony of peace-

Please-

Bear with me-

As I breathe-

And you breathe-

Lord I question your very means-

Still not understanding how you did this to me-

This I do selfishly-

Needing him more now than I ever could have believed-

Lord I am down on my bleeding knees-

Asking you to answer me-

But it’s just not happening-

And I am not understanding-

How you could be so commanding-

But won’t answer me as I am demanding-

I guess this is just damaging-

Soul examining-

Look for any reason to get a handle on things-

I apologize as I do this selfishly-

He is resting and I must realize I am nesting-

His memory is refreshing-

I close my eyes and I sit by his feet-

And I just listen to him breathe-

And breathe-

And at that moment I am at peace-
