Array ( [sid] => 162936 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Living to Breath [time] => 2010-10-26 19:13:19 [hometext] => Another write, I just needed to clear my head tonight maybe I should take more time on them but that’s not what I needed right now. So here are my thoughts, from the mind to the pin, to the paper from within. [bodytext] => Chapters in life like seasons change
Tides come in but the sands remain

The sun will rise to show us the way
At night it departs and the mind remains

The mind is adrift like the winds of time
To sift the thoughts that are lost to rhymes

The clouds are a drift and block out the sun
Eternal battles that will never be won

In war with the heart and soul
Betrayal of love to save your soul

Consumed by thoughts a love that is lost
Condemned to pain and the life it has claimed

Waters dark and grim consume me to the end
For I’ve lost my heart to save my soul

I’ve been living to breathe
While breathing to die

Now I welcome my demise and the kiss of death
To release me from all of this pain and regret

Feel deep sadness through this at the same time you have used some very beautiful expressive language,.......esp the first verse.
