Breath Taken

I'd like that breath back, the one you stole, when I saw a beautiful shade of blue rippling to the shore. Maybe it wasn't the blue that was the thief, maybe the wonder of the crater slipped in and stole it right from my lungs. Maybe the culprit was the gentle breeze or the light splash of cool water in my face. But all in all, that summer day, I knew how it felt, my breath taken away.
