It Does Get [Easier to Breathe]

by Poet on the Piano   Jun 19, 2013


Allow your naive toes to dig themselves sites
to explore underneath the ground, and remind
them they aren't deep enough for a grave,
because our lives need to be rooted
before we leap too far ahead.

Let the sun soak into your brittle bones,
the ones you weren't sure you could call
yours, from all the times they shriveled
up and sobbed when you didn't know
how to face the night.

Allow the soft tousles of the grass
to move you, make your throat tickle
and your laughs come out all the
more smoothly.

Let love find you.
Let love be your home.

    I love this MA, it was really beautifully penned, and tone was more relaxing, even though the power behind each line was evident. It made me feel calm, and like life was beginning to make sense again.

    I loved the title, it is powerful on it's own, just reading the title, I knew I wanted to read this piece, I was not disappointed, it is everything that anyone needs to hear after a tough day or just when they need some direction.

    The nature tones were just breathtaking, and I immediately fell in love with the first stanza, about how hard life gets, it's not hard enough to end it, there is always a way out that doesn't involve death, that struck me deeply.

    I know this piece will be one I come back to, so I am adding it to my favourites.

    Really inspiring, powerful words that touched me deeply.
