I BREATHE ONE BREATH

Dedicated to Kristy Richmond: 1973 – 2007Soft silent words of commonality
Cross between us in this darkness
My tears call out to you
You try to answer
My excessive emotions block the transfer

“Cry not” you shout
But I am overwhelmed
My love for you in tatters on the floor
A paper tiger in the face of a searing wind

Then suddenly a peace arises
I breathe one breath
And know you are at peace
