Infinitesimal Beauty

The veil is rising 

Easing off 
my fear strained face,
it catches 
on crystalized tears,
pulling away 
I bath in liberty

The first airless void
stills all movement,
abandon was never 
nameless, faceless 

No longer condemned 
sliding towards the light,
I take in my first breath 
free of regret and torment 

In the ensuing minutes
infinitesimal beauty
takes my breath again 
as I exhale my first sigh...

I saw Robert's comment. I thought the opposite. You were getting away from a bad marriage and taking your first breath of freedom ..........Hugs Tim

Lovely...it reminds me of someone who has found freedom, no longer tied to a life that was becoming unbearable...and suffocating. Take care...paul
