Breath
Last night, I listened to you breathe
I didn’t hang up the phone
That gentle
in
out
in
out
The waves kissing the shoreline again
And again
Last night, I listened to you breathe
It was all I needed
That gentle
in
out
in
out
Had contained within it your face, your words, your heart
Last night, I listened to you breathe
I dared not make a sound
That gentle
in
out
in
out
A pulsating symphony of the most
Intimate sort
Last night, I listened to you breathe.
I didn’t hang up the phone,
For
It was all I needed
And
I dared not make a sound.
Thank you, Sarah Key! “The waves kissing the shoreline.” What a wonderful phrase.
