New Poem - Breathe



Breathe

breathe, breathe, the night air
fills my lungs with wonder
and the cool darkness
where light is an orphan

the endings, dead leaves
and forgotten dreams,
the longing for something
beyond any known words

breathe, breathe, this day
cannot last, cannot be all
that we are, all that we know,
simply a falling star

fallen, just as the leaves,
I pretend to know the why
of anything, but as always,
I simply kneel and bow

never sure of this breath
