Just Breathe

Just Breathe

Just breathe
waters close in
feel icy fingers grasp
how quickly panic starts to rise
darkness begins to embrace; cold comfort
offering feelings of the womb
close your eyes and let go
falling freely
just breathe

    When I saw the titile I flashbacked to this morning at 1 am walking the dog round the block. That horse tried to run me and I was trouble catching my breath at the end of it. A sad testimony to my physical shape I fear so I was actually glad when instead it was about drowning (to me mind you) and Kate Winslat and Leonardo Dicaprio are harminizing in the brain cells as I type now.
