David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Your First Breath

Your First Breath 
David J Walker

Should I try
To name and number
 The nameless days and
	Numberless nights

I am 
	Another beginning
	A being
The alpha and omega of
	Another day spent

Remembering each morning
Each new day forming
	Less of sight 
and more of scent 

I am 
	Another descending 
evening
Riding the tide 
of another tonight

guarding the dwindling 
visions of vestige

The mellifluous homilies
Ascribed to the bright
Colored lights 
	Of the moon

I am the nameless 
you will never know

living and dying 
	believing and loving

fearing and toiling
long before you 

have come to take

your first breath
