the rise and fall of breathing
this morning an even-ness tells me you are alright but what about tomorrow and later on tonight who knows how the future goes and what's in store keeping the surprise I wear cautious eyes lately that's all you can see of me I hold the days and thoughts back like a stemming of the tide I dam them up trying to keep them alive for the reliving I return to the memories that keep on giving the sustainers today the world's dominated by strife and whines and the want-it-all and want-it-back complainers while some barely hold on we're holding on together now rubber banded and band-aided to the now and to our past the growing noise and chaos outside is something we try to keep at bay maybe that's why I'm listening so closely today to the evenness in your breath all who you are is precious wish I could strike the bargain too to keep trouble and death from knocking at the door of us the best of two you do not grow older in my eyes you grow sweeter on the vine the only bitter in age and in the wine is in how much longer the bottle will last.
