Breath's Away
Underneath my dream, idea tree
with full access to my library
where the moments only count if your breath's away;
tread softly through the canopy's veil
it's anyone's guess, in this odd tale;
are they at work? Are they at rest? Or will they play?
~
So quick! Am I to sanitize
each moment bold, I categorize;
so I know when one does end, and the next shall start;
breathe each one in, or turn to stone
after all they're yours, and yours alone
you gave to each one "life", inside your heart!
~
Not one thing can better describe
the essence of a soul's own vibe,
than, what prompts a heart to quicken like the birds;
we've each had footprints shadow made,
but, sunlit footprints never fade;
when our breath's away, each legacy needs no words !
