Brain Bits To Go

NaPoWriMo Day 24

Precious Breath

Breath in, breath out, the body’s tide

So seldom thought about.

To breath is automatic when

You’re healthy there’s no doubt

We do it from the day we’re born

Until our final one.

We rarely truly think of it

Like thinking ‘bout the sun.

The only time we pay it mind

Is when we are forced to.

When all of the benign neglect

Adds up what do we do?

We gasp and wheeze and curse and cry,

We swear that we will change.

We promise if we’re spared this fate

Our life will rearrange.

Breath in, breath out, breath with me now

Be here, feel each soft flow.

And understand this fragile thing

Take care now that you know.

Cheers,
