BREATH


For me you are breath

You are the essence that 

nourishes my soul daily.

I come to you without wearing 

masks, without having to act!

You as a good mother

You embrace me in your loving 

arms and I feel protected

As I learn to love.

For me you are the breath of life 

that is mixed in this deafening 

silence and vibrates

While it emits a charming melody.
