harder to breathe

midday sun light

shining through dusty cracked shades

drawn so no one can see

into the mind

made up to create all day

everyday little time to write

no interference plunging

into depths immeasurable

light guiding the way

to the surface skimming

along collecting evidence

and thoughts constructing

a masterpiece in the verbal fashion

standing aside if he has to

in order for everyone important to pass

standing in the shadows

hoping not to be noticed

and at the same time stand out

in the crowd and no one can explain

the minimum that a crowd can be

here now still circling the mind

what’s to find deeper

under thought flipped into a twist

contorting what it once was

easier to pen the thought

harder to breathe…
