Inhale.
Hold it.
Exhale.
We must not forget
to stop, take a breath,
and breathe.

SILENCE
The silence moves.
Its breath cold
on my neck.
It watches
and waits for a sound.
It drifts closer,
then surrounds me.
Once it hears any sound,
it will silence me
forever.
WHITE COTTON BALLS IN THE SKY
Source:carpetbones
From inside my dark room,
I watch the clouds drift by.
Puffy, white cotton balls
dotting the blue sky.
Dare I leave my safe haven
and venture outside?
I’ll wait until tomorrow
as they float on by.
COME HOME TO ME
Source:billionaired
Tall windows to let in the day.
The sun rises and shoots its ray.
I watch people saunter by,
peek into windows up high.
I’m as happy as I can be
to let the world come home to me.
MY EYES SEE
Source:dollysgothworld
My eyes see the light beyond
where humans hurry to and fro.
My eyes see the darkness inside
where humans have no pride.
They fight and attack each other
with no regard for their species.
They rant and rave over their passions
with little concern for the welfare of others.
My eyes see the good and the bad,
leaving me all too sad.
Meow.
WAIT FOR IT
Source:indieteen
It comes in the night.
It comes to all.
To all who sleep.
To all who lie awake.
It comes on soft wings.
It comes in silence.
I lie and wait.
In trepidation.
In fear.
For it.
FURY
The ocean roars its fury.
Arms lift in supplication.
Waves bend sharp rocks.
No boats dare the swells.
Birds flee.
The sun hides.
Mist fills the air.
We wait.
Will we be worthy?
Is mankind ever worthy?
Will the waters recede for us?
The answer lies in the ocean’s depths of despair.
We bow our heads and pray.
WINDOWS SO HIGH
Source:billionaired
Tall windows to let in the day.
The sun rises and shoots its ray.
I watch people saunter by,
Peek into windows so high.
I’m as happy as I can be
To let the world come home to me.
STOP
0ce4n-g0d Deactivated
Take the time.
Stop.
Watch.
Listen.
Breathe.
Sigh.
LIFE GOES BY
I sit on my perch
while life passes by.
Cars and people
always hurrying.
Airplanes in the sky
carrying their heavy loads.
I still sit here on my perch,
calm as can be,
while life goes by.
