    Breath

    Life is like a box of chocolate

    and as I push a square peg into this round hole

    I take another bite

    of the only life I've ever known

    Planted tree's creating feeding frenzies

    nurished by toxic fruit

    So I breath in deep

    clearing my lungs

    I've learned to play it safe

    it has earned me a prime seat to watch

    as others eat their 5 course meal

    faded pictures of dreams long gone

    And as the wind blows

    carrying away hopes and dreams

    I take another bite to mask the pain

    Strong roots grow deep

    and with outstretched arms

    I reach to consume freedom

    My lips hungers for a world beyond

    my habitual connection of sameness 

    My journey begins with a soft whisper

    taking flight

    wind guiding

    destination unknown

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
