It Begins With Poem by Charles Sammons

 
Every word we've ever spoken
begins with just a breath
but we don't here it
we hear the words and what's behind it
every thought we've ever had begins with
what do I know?
is it true?
is it honest?
every life begins with
a breath and then a cry
we don't hear it
why would we?
the cry is so beautiful
every sight we've ever seen
begins with looking past the nose
ya it's there
but we don't see it
we see what we want
every kiss we've ever had
begins with anticipation
the attraction
movement
lips touch
it all begins with just a breath
every love we've ever had
begins with
when will it end?
and on our last day
we take our last breath
like the first cry
it has it's own beauty
it all begins
and ends
and everything in between
with just a breath
