BREATHER

“Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.” ― Maya Angelou, Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now

it’s suffocating if we look all around

our world is shrinking and we're losing ground

expectations from all sides limiting our choice

bit by bit we realize we are losing our voice

i’ll take a breather you can come with me

leave this place for a while and rethink our journey

come fly with me to a castle in the sky

where no one can stop us in doing what we haven’t tried

for a moment or two we can free our souls

let’s move our feet away from these man-made sinking holes

i’ll take a breather you can come with me

leave this place for a while and rethink our journey

come soar with us to an infinite space

cease from worrying if we ever fall from grace

take a breather with us leave your fears behind

we’ll find a resting place for your troubled heart and mind

we all need a breather you can come with us

leave this place for a while before we break the glass

it is a brief respite from a world of constant battles

in this place we can create our own magic spells

we’ll have a world full of whites and greens

we can shape a garden filled with our hopes and dreams
