In A Sigh

I hold my breath.

I let the world slip out

Between my lips

In a sigh

I hold my breath.

I let the sorrow settle

Into the water at my feet

With no good-bye

I hold my breath

Frustrations trail away

In the waves white froth

The tears I cry

I hold my breath.

I feel the stillness of the earth

Of the boundless water

Of the deep sky

I breathe out.

The stillness spills in

To fill the spaces now empty

Of sorrow, of frustrations

Of the world I carried

In a sigh
