#respair
When you are discouraged lost uncovered bare In the dark discourage at the very end a respair Guarded by a lake, breathe again into the dawn Old French respirer, Latin re spirare, on a lawn, A return of hope after the dark night of the soul Not loud, gentle, soft & lonely bloom out whole Something quietly begins, again, beauty inhales, Slow in a shy opens up your flowing in the sails, Disparate in repair that breathes in you, alt new, Unnoticed at first O away as spaces in you grew, Smile at the broken pieces bend your way to free Keep moving thru the world all the curves agree There’s a line that came to me thinking only you: Arrive, keep coming back to you, Deep in a Blue, Breathe that final moment before the day slips in Let soft slow you, back to back, in a flowing glen.

A Respair
Respair, it’s not fair. I am standing on a wire, I wish not to be a liar. Lean a little to the left you will fall to your death, little to the right to find prosperity and ease that will make you feel light. I might be scared to fall, or maybe not at all. Perhaps to keep my options mine, have no responsibility on either side. I think I stand here for the challenge, to keep me on my toes, for that is what I’ve always know.
