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 tumble weed Down the passages of dark, down the staircase of rune Every step a little deeper than the crevices of the moon You can almost taste the air, on your tongue clepe You can down the stairs of heaven in one single leap Taking you by the waist it shall dance through you The elixir of happiness when you're 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 And takes you to her caves, all etched with gold Don't ask her any questions just go ahead and breathe No, don't ask her anything at all, just breathe Yes breathe Down the passages of dark, down the staircase of rune There is a secret mystery your mind will consume As you dance in the twilight, where her gold is found Each breath taken comes like a mist on sacred ground Taking you by the waist it shall dance through you Lead you to places where darkened skies turn blue And soak your eyes with dazzling wondrous worlds As it claims your breath as your night unfurls When the night claims you like a wayward leaf of old And lifts you with breezes through spaces untold It will fill you with life through this night of consent As you taste each sensation that heaven has sent Bend to the mystery that comes with each step And honor with silence all the caves you accept Don't ask any questions just go ahead and breathe No, don't ask her anything at all,just breathe Yes breathe contest Collaboration with Mystic Rose 12/30 /15

I think Mystic's poem is so beautiful and you faithfully followed through with an equally beautiful echo to her stanzas! I bet she puts this on her winners' list. I sure hope I can make the time to try this.
