to feel your breath
it becomes overwhelming
,
the kaleidoscope of events
reaching out for our attention
.
I give myself time to breathe
,
a deep six counts in
and a slow six out
;
but
,
how much better to feel your breath
the expansion and contraction of a cosmos
,
my arms have opened
and are filled with your world
,
my sight cleared of images
by our rhythm
,
the mechanism of life
shared through our embrace
,
and the desire not to leave
.
