Until the day I die
Close up your eye lids,
Freeze in your skin,
Sit back and let it all settle in.
Breathe in the air surrounding your life,
Fill up your lungs with your still, cold strife.
Close up your mouth and hold it all in,
Feel your lungs burn,
Let your head spin.
Feel every problem, every tear, every pain,
All of the worries,
All of the strain,
All of the times that you smiled through the ache,
Every time that you suffered from loss or heartbreak-
Feel it all swell up inside of each lung,
Pressured, burning, battered, and stung.
Then, finally after each moment of pain
Has whirled and swirled and spun through your brain,
Swallow it up and kiss it goodbye.
Let all your troubles escape to the sky.
Slowly and gently release every thought
Of difficult problems that your life has brought.
As the air clears your lungs, set your worries all free
Let every last trouble pour into the sea.
Wash it away and drown it in joy
And breathe in new moments that you can enjoy.
Moments of laughter and friendship and love,
Fill up your lungs with each gift from above,
And breathe every gift as you feel your heart beat
And exhale its wonders on all that you meet.
Open your eyes,
Continue with living,
Remember your gifts and never stop giving.
I don't know where that came from...sometimes things just come out. I guess today was one of those days.
