Pressure rising

bubbling under the fragile surface

words bouncing off 

darkened faces

Shallow, quick 

desperate breaths

…

Gaze holding

Hands busily twisting

wheels and wishes

Gratitude rising

Peace blossoms

Luxurious air 

travelling inwards

…

Panic erupting

clutching, grasping

hoping for the swell of 

pain to abate

Breath ceasing

body tightening

Reminders to let fate

take hold

…

stop fighting

just breathe

This post is part of the Five Minute Friday writing challenge. Each week I join with this talented group of writers, free writing for five minutes in accordance with a prompt. Today’s prompt is ‘breathe’.
