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-
