Remembering How to Breathe belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Live, Love, Dream: , Two Beings Group and WMGIn time, they say
But I think that it’s their time
They’re speaking of
It’s fine, I reply
But that’s just so
They’ll let me be
I’ve lied upon fevered bark
Flying the ribbon of our eternity
Watching the curve of us
Intertwine the trees
Coloring the breeze, baby blue
It kidnaps my lonely
And nestles me, secure with you
As they all declare
Don’t look back
Don’t look forward
Just stay still
To count your blessings
Don’t cry now
Don’t cry later
Wash it all away
Think not on your regret
But on who you’ve never met
Sometimes the heart thinks it has moved on
But it’s wrong
Oh, it’s wrong
It’s just occupied with something else
So if you find yourself alone
City lights, dying down
The memory of her, slinking under your door
You may rest, listening for nothing
And then hear a familiar something
It is only me
Reciting the riddle of your leaving
Breaking the fragments of you, smaller
As my unwillingness compromises to try
And so remembering how to breathe…
I sigh

Sometimes the heart thinks it has moved on
But it’s wrong
Oh, it’s wrong
It’s just occupied with something else
Oh amy this is so lovely and sad and uplifting, all at the same time!!

As can I Amy – such a wistful, poignant and all too real work of art. Funny thing about hearts, I guess – we DO move on in most ways – but there’s room in hearts that have known much love for these memories and longings too. Just a touchingly beautiful piece!

this poem and this art really touches the soul and a place within me that I sometimes forget to go. To just remember how to breathe!

I’ve missed reading your work …
It is only me
Reciting the riddle of your leaving
Breaking the fragments of you, smaller
Those lines are STUNNING !!
