Just a Minute More

Numbered breath elude o' death
the plan you sat in motion,
simply turn the page to gauge
our truth and our devotion.
Guidance comes to hasten thumbs
intent on chapter flipping,
reveal give heart from end to start
the parts that aren't worth skipping.
Patience give to breathe and live
the tale of life we're writing,
numbered breath eluding death
it's mine and mine I'm biding.

Gliding

Sifting through and gliding
riding high on expectation,
shining siren of the sun
her song of exaltation.
Pleasure now to deadened ears
now burning live and ready,
voice upon a chilly wind
warming heart's confetti.
Raining all around me
seems you cover every season,
giving reason back to rhyme
as rhyme gives back to reason.
Everything I need in life
and nothing all at once,
no longer needing even breath
you cover all those points.
Giving life by being mine
each heartbeat shares a minute,
sifting through and gliding too
and thankful that you're in it.
