Take your time. Take someone's hand. Take control. Take a stand. Take a bow. Take a breath. Then, when you're ready, take that first step.

take
Avoiding the eyes, the arms and legs the charity seller eagerly awaiting I look about but all I see is a sea of bodies polluting the streets, the skies, their minds move on making noise, make less noise fill the silence take a breath of air, all the way down take a pause there's time no need to rush around pounding the chewing gum streets The grime of life is on your skin now embedded in the layers of filth the coffee stains and late night bars the early starts and frown lines of life are on your face now that's life now make change and waves in the noise that was your life where silence pounds the chewing gum streets of your mind.

Breath
hold up. slow down. my pendulum swung so fast round and round from the void of feeling to hope - to anger - to hope - to desperation - to hope - to rage - to heartache - to hope - then the explosion of feeling burst to life in warm and welcoming hands lust - love - lust - love - lust - love - love - love and a deep seated need to be touched, to be seen. finally. exploded up like a banshee, screaming towards the sky so fast. so high. So fast. so High. SO FAST. SO HIGH. And I promised. I promised, love, didn't I? This time. Live bigger, Love better. Live better, Love bigger. With eyes wide open I breath, and I wake.
