Breath


Few a few months now I've not had any inspiration to write, and so, here is a re post of a piece I wrote in 2015. However, as the melancholy feeling of the anniversary of a loved one draws forever nearer, maybe this will create a spark of inspirational light; for as we know, poets, story tellers and artists are quite an emotional breed, and we tend to feed of deep rooted feelings.


Breath
is our being.
Being is beautiful, and
being with you is as beautiful
as the breath itself.
Take nothing for granted,
appreciate the love
our breath
gives.

  7. I know the feeling... and I think that pain and melancholy is a better place to write for a poet (at least for me)

    Good thoughts Julian. There is always the danger of writer'd block lurking in the background but it'll dis appear eventually!
