"Breathless"

[The Wanderer]

?Breathless?

Listen, to the silky whispers stroking your thoughts,
Soak them up until you exhale within these fragmented rivers,
Words, swimming over to you,
Before we drown ? inhale...
Everything that you imagine your life to be,
And flow freely upon their beautiful waves...
Wherever this serenity guides you ? surface...
The foam in your eyes surging through the leaks in the ocean?s ceiling,
Dancing in the empty arms of the sky,
Until you are out of breath and the tides rush to your feet,
Melting the oxygen to fill your heart with an endless deep,
Echoing through your smiles as you splash the air with the warmth of the sun
Out of breath,
Out of love,
Free...
Breathless

-----
?If I could stay... then the night would give you up
Stay with the demons you drowned
Stay... with the spirit I found
Stay... and the night would be enough?

Is it ever?
