Breathe In, Breathe Out

Breathe in, breathe out
Open your eyes
Do you see the beauty?
Breathe in, breathe out
Close your eyes
Were you praying too?
Breathe in, breathe out
Let yourself fall
Did someone catch you?
Breathe in, breathe out
Open your heart
Did you let someone in?
Breathe in, breathe out
Reach our your hand
Did someone reach back?
Breathe in, breathe out
Its time
Are you ready?

Running

I walk out into meek sunlight
The sun has barely come up yet
This used to be my time of day
Before the birds would even wake, you bet

How has this time passed me by?
How has this life suddenly stood still?
How can something turn so empty?
Of what used to be so fulfilled

I breathe in that good country air
I tighten the laces of my shoes
I glance over my shoulder at the sun,
Peeking at me and making brand new hues

I thud down pebble drive to the dirt road
I pass sleepy houses and drowsy cows
I round mail boxes and rows of corn
I think and renew all of those lost vows

To give more of myself to me
Everyone else can wait
To find that other part of myself
That part to be my soul mate

The Storm

The rain is coming down
It’s pouring like a faucet from the sky
Beating on the metal roof
To the point where nothing can be dry

I walk to the window that reveals the storm
Droplets pounding on the dirt road
Turning it into a sea of mud 
It seems as if the sky is going to explode

I can feel the passion of the storm in my bones
The clatter drowns out every other sound
I can barely hear myself think 
It feels as if I could drown

I can barely see out of the window 
Blurring my vision of the world
When the wind suddenly picks up,
The trees seemed to be hurled

These sounds are so comforting
It brings me peace as the steady flow 
Then it starts to decrease
And the fiery passion starts to slow

Dear Little Girl

Dear little girl, oh so blue
do they even have a clue
that your up so late 
that it's yourself you hate
every night the battle rages on
to yourself you feel like a con
hiding everything deep down
even though rarely wearing a frown
