“That Keeps Me Breathing”

In open air above my head

I raise my eyes to heavens face

To search for endless love

There where Moon shines so dim tonight

Dreaming of better days

Trying

To forget about life’s sorrows

Wishing

The wind could just blow them

Across the ocean… far away

Restless at times

This aching heart of mine

When heavy thoughts

Half hidden behind my tears

Mocking me constantly

As the absence

Of detailed explanations

Becomes a story

So difficult to tell

When during “combat” moments

I am falling down

Not dead… nor alive

But upon my knees

As I raise my eyes to heavens face

To search for your love

That keeps me breathing

In hope

For better tomorrows
