Life's Breath

You two
are life sustaining
My world
umbilically tied
to one
rhythmic beat

And I grasp for air
waiting
for time to allow me
to once again
breathe easy.

My lungs
fail me
Pain sears
my chest wall
My heart aches

And I grasp for air
waiting
for time to allow me
to once again
breathe easy


Life's Breath
