What Each Breath Felt Like


Inhale…
Sitting perches against the wall
Watching every raindrop
Toes just an inch away from the falling water.
Safe.
Trying to understand how this all came to be.
Trying not to hate the rain.
Recognizing the life it brings.
The corn, the coffee, the beans.
Contrasted with this morning’s funeral.
Samuel’s life taken by cancer.
While my own mom awaits the next phase of her treatment.
Fear.
Where time flies yet seconds can last a lifetime.
Constant accompaniment.
Millions of questions.
Everything aligns.
And it makes sense that nothing makes sense.
Beauty.
Exhale…
