Breathe

Breathe 
by: J Edward Knox

Breathe in, breathe out
Release your fears, release your doubt
Breathe out, breathe in
Prepare to start over again

Alone again within the crowd
Pulse beating so violently and loud

Time slows down to a creeping pace
Eyes dart around for a friendly face

Warmth of smiles from many faces
Reflecting back from hollow places

A cycle too familiar now
A lonely place to retake the vow

Words formerly of comfort and peace
Serenity lost they must cease

A darkness that spreads across the sky
A still quiet passes on by

Sitting silent alone among friends
Waiting for hope; darkness descends

A glistening in companion's eyes
Warmth and light from a new sunrise

Breathe in, breathe out
Embrace the light, behold dawn’s shout
Breathe out, breathe in
Feel the warmth again on your skin
