The Song Continues
Thought-provoking meditative poem.
Just breathe
(though the)
creeping shadows
and
inhale
(while the)
weeping willows
and
exhale
(as the)
sleeping hollows
and
inhale
(though the)
reaping follows
and
exhale
(while the)
cleaving fallows
and
inhale
(as the)
leaving shallows
exhale (no more)
dying hallows
(more no)
inhale
exhale
Just Breathe
as the band it plays on
and the piper welcomes dawn
as the poet speaks his truth
and the words become your proof
as the song continues you—endless
and the singers harmonize—regardless
know that with every ending
there is a new beginning
Just Breathe
