    Poem: Exhale – Spoken Word and Text – 10/07/20

    “Exhale” Audio
    Don’t hold your breath.
    Exhale, allow it to be free.
    Allow the endorphins to flow through
    your very being.
    
    Do not hold your breath,
    there is no need;
    wondering, wishing, waiting,
    for something which may not be.
    
    Live, my love, live,
    please know that I have been,
    in this formerly crowded world
    now a stripped ghost town.
    
    Your heart
    and my heart are full,
    we must breathe the freshest
    air that I can drag from this
    phantasmagorical land,
    
    we may be apart and alone
    and I may be without true air,
    but understand,
    please understand
    that I will return,
    I will reign triumphant,
    soaring upon winged creatures’ spans.
    
    I will exhale as I jump from the edge,
    expiring as I see fit,
    because sometimes, in life,
    we must accept that leaving
    this world is required,
    I will return again,
    
    and again,
    I will be myself
    in another form,
    perhaps you’ll find me,
    and when you do,
    exhale loudly and clasp my hand
    then I’ll know
    we have returned.
