Breath: a poem

Breath
by Charles Deemer 

There are moments in life
so unnatural to normal breathing
that I hold my breath
for as long as possible

with the mindless faith
that when I finally inhale
I will be revived with pure
oxygen and a new wondrous
landscape filled with beauty
that takes my breath away
and all the past difficulty
of breathing will be as forgotten
as last night's nightmare.
