Inhale and Exhale

I haven't written any poetry on this blog and I think I'm feeling now is the time to let loose some versification


Inhale and exhale
Out tired memories that stifle the future
And violently caress significant progress
With rough fingertips and painful intentions.
Inhale
Positive orbs of glowing amiability,
Covert happiness;
Exhale the putrid cowardice,
The haughty, selfish waste
That has overtaken your senses
Leaving you in disoriented disbelief.
Inhale fortitude and disambiguated virtue,
Good fortune and compassion
Exhale violent thoughts of revenge and paranoid mistrust,
Exhale the embittered litany of capricious excuses
That so completely cripple your mind.
Exhale inconsequential mistakes that have been festering
Forming cankerous melancholy within your being
Exhale until your lungs are remiss and cry for life
Exhale until your eyes begin to water and your body starts to tremble
Exhale until the world grows darker
Exhale until you can exhale no more and you are utterly depleted
Exhale until you begin to drift out of consciousness and there is no light
Then inhale.
Inhale all that you have yet to experience
Inhale all the wonder and excitement waiting for you
Inhale all the opportunities anxiously materializing
Inhale all the infinite possibility and unadulterated happiness
Inhale all of life until you feel you are going to burst
Inhale and exhale to live.


I'm out.
