Breath taking



life grew
like a rope
to the far beyond
just as
the shiny new pebble
freely turned
no hesitation
hesitation was not an option
if the world
were once to hesitate
we would remain
lifeless
just barley breathing
i would
still
stand among
shadow hill
but insted
we stand
breath taken
able to catch my breath
and
to draw life
from the factor of beauty
so breath
stand
turn
and close your
golden eyes
