Inhale!

Awareness makes my eyes believe

That she is actually clothed

She’s not! My bones and cells know this.

She’s naked! It’s a fact.

She is burning me. She is doing nothing.

I am awed with deep respect.

I’m going
to die now,
just
to be wind

And become her next breath.

Inhale!

Completely inspired by the photograph Apres Brunch By RedBubble’s Judith Oppenheimer

    This piece is like the crescendo of the symphony….and the crash of the cymbals and the kettle drums roar! A wonderful writing of pure emotion! So enjoyable! I gasped that ‘next breath’ when I came upon those very words at the end.
    I am a big fan.

    This is excellent, C.C. It says it so true. Sometimes we are so nypnotized by what we see, even in our minds that we can walk true fire and not feel the heat as it burns us through and through.

    once, in a time that had no walls, i breathed a soul like you..
    when i exhaled, there was the world..
    we knew.
