breathe.
eat some ice cream.
look up and count the clouds.

breathe.
close your eyes against the sun.
see the black swimming against your eyelids before--

breathe.
it's funny how quiet things are in your mind.
the world, there's too much.

breathe.
noise.
it's too harsh and bright. not now.

breathe.
ouch. your legs have gone numb.
how long have you been here?

breathe.
if you stopped moving long enough
will the world stop?

breathe?
(yes, breathe.
don't stop; that's good.)

breathe.
the word breathe sounds funny here.
it sounds light and passing and trivial.

breathe.
it doesn't sound like it will last.
not forever, anyways.

breathe.
how long will yours last?
long enough to make more people smile, you hope.

breathe.
you feel the sun warming the grass.
it's time to wake up.

to be honest, i don't even know what i just wrote.
just some random thoughts and feelings floating around in me that i had to write down.
i just had to pen it down even if it doesn't just quite make sense, you know that feel? 

comment your thoughts on this piece below, pretty please? :) 


i really, really want to hear what you think of it!

  1. OH MY BLITZKIREG. This is incredible! Your poems always evoke this peaceful kind of nostalgia, or warmth - like a campfire after a long, hard day. That was me trying to be poetic in response to your poem. Pathetic, I know. :) Love the structure!

  5. the structure is everything
    i still feel like i'm not sure what the general setting or whatever is
    but it makes me feel so much that i don't care
    everything's just so good. (can you imagine those last two words in italics please)
    i loved it so much and your vocabulary is so on point wow.

  10. It transported me, Elisa, and I think that's what writing is supposed to do. It took me to a beautiful place of tranquility. It was a familiar place, even though I'm not able to visit there often. Nostalgia and peace and exquisite sorrow all at once, rushing over me, bathing me in their presence.

    I doubt I'm making sense. So I'll stop.

  11. " eat some ice cream.
    look up and count the clouds "

    Yeah, girl! Sometimes we are to uptight and busy to calm down, relax, and maybe take a little time to "Treat yo self" !
