Deep Breath In

Fretting anonymous I’m joining You join with a deep breath in I draw breath, I stall My breath trips and tumbles over my ribs I stumble and fall My breath still goes in and out Tomorrow is a new day Breathing life into my dreams The dream of a non fretter Ye who fret non Whilst I breathe, I live Just that one deep breath of starting new Sounds easy Shallow breather, nothing to declare This is the day Town crier declarations Preparing for my deep breath in Forgot and exhaled This is the twilight Under cover of almost darkness Deep breath in Poised This is the night Eyes closed Dreams distant Breathing in and out Fret what? Fret a lot... Fretting catching in my throat Difficult to draw breath Drawing breath Seeing the pictures forming Deep breath Expand my lungs and my horizon
