breathing
breathing is something i can do
a tonic for my shattered nerves
i'll find a legend straight and true
to see beyond the unknown curves
this road i'm on i did not choose
the map i read was skewed and wrong
but i am breathing as i cruise
that is enough to keep me strong
i will inhale the freshening wind
on my shoulder sun will shine
all the gifts of life are pinned
to this breathing that is mine
take a step in time with life
move ever outward and away
from senseless avarice and strife
and i will own this brand new day
