Breathe

Breathe When the night claims you like a wayward leaf of old and it takes you to the caves where anything turns gold. You don't ask any questions and you don't dare breathe. You just follow her, like a light weight tumbled weed. Down the passages of dark, down the staircase of rune every step a little deeper than the crevices of moon, You can almost taste the air, on your tonguing clepe. You can down the stars of heaven in one single leap. Taking you by the waist it shall dance you through the elixir of happiness when your feeling down n' blue. You just thank the Lord for the magic of this gift. All you need is skin n' eyes to cross her lowly rift. When night claims you like a wayward leaf of old and takes you to her caves, all etched with gold. Don't ask her any questions just go ahead breathe. No, don't ask her anything at all, just breathe, yes, breathe... How your skin intermingles and your words interweave as your thoughts become one and your desires are seen! You don’t have the answers for the feelings within. You are so excited and your tension subsides as you breathe. The glow on the walls fulfills the dark. The hieroglyphic staircase reforms at once. The air is refreshing and you can savor the breeze. The stars are the luminaires that showcase what’s achieved. The hyperactivity dances your feet. A prescription of joy embraced so easily. The Almighty God had given wisdom matured. All-inclusive is the mind and you intuitive. The clamor of night is attentive. It takes your knowledge to the trees where you lay awake awaiting. Don’t question, just relax and breathe, yes, believe… ____________________________________________| Written for A Collaboration With Mystic Rose, Poem Entitled: "Breathe" - Poetry Contest on January 05, 2015!
