I pressed my ear against the chest of the world And felt it's life today The slow, drowsy beginning of a late sunrise Creeping seeping over dewy hills A patient inhale The tight suspension in the air as the sky grew black and grey The explosive exhale as the winds blew thick and heavy and sheets of rain whipped the trees Then the peace after Between breaths the exhausted calm The air was spent The emotions felt And the sun began to set Like tired eyes closing The layer clouds adorned it's decent In radiant and floating colors I felt the breath of the world today
