Breath :: Arizona :: Original Poetry

Breath

Life is like a box of chocolate

and as I push a square peg into this round hole

I take another bite

of the only life I've ever known

Planted tree's creating feeding frenzies

nurished by toxic fruit

So I breath in deep

clearing my lungs

I've learned to play it safe

it has earned me a prime seat to watch

as others eat their 5 course meal

faded pictures of dreams long gone

And as the wind blows

carrying away hopes and dreams

I take another bite to mask the pain

Strong roots grow deep

and with outstretched arms

I reach to consume freedom

My lips hungers for a world beyond

my habitual connection of sameness

My journey begins with a soft whisper

taking flight

wind guiding

destination unknown
