Five Minute Breather

Five Minute Breather

It started with the stars
Opportunity right before my eyes
Capturing my thoughts
As my imagination ran free
Releasing me from my stress
Which I tend to hold tight

Then came the moon
Glowing bright
Mesmerizing my soul
As it slowly moved across the night sky
Allowing me to be in the moment
Without counting time

Hand by my side
Itching to extend
To the shadow cast
By the porch light
In silence as I held my face
Toward the sky

Allowing me to just breathe
Comforting me
Knowing even if I was alone
At that moment in time
You sat beside me
Understanding
