I AM HERE (Invisible)

IAMHERE

 

I am the air / unseen

a breath

underneath

                  the rush

                   the coffee

                    the traffic

on concrete streets

 

I am lifting the dirt

                  the grime

                   the dust

polluting us

I am adding wings

to the speed of your feet

to where your dreams may meet

 

I am the sigh

in your quivering lungs

inside your heart

                  such self defeat

when you concede to it

deceit / disease / cease to breathe

never to notice me

or listen to our song

 

everything

 

Wind chimes time

a summer's relief / a breeze

strides along

cooling your face from the heat

 

Do not say you blame it all on me

 

Don't say I'm the purpose

                    the reason

or                  the space between

knife and slice of skin

between the heart & the eyes

unable and refusing to see

why our love

retreats

 

Dagger / plunged

the deathblow

a quick hands woes

 

A heartless man goes

so neat and clean

so discreet

hiding in the bleak

uncaring

 

so...

 

I am the air

   you never notice me

touching

           your sorrow

            your skin

yet never being / your glee

invisible

that is how despair begins

 

I am the air / unseen

waiting for you to care

                        to notice

                         to open eyes, see!

 

I am the air, here / with you

a friend that is always

there

 

invisible

waiting to be / seen.

 

I AM HERE

do you notice me?

 

(sounds of breathing then still and silence)

 

a heart is beating

do you notice me?

A heart beating ... Now do you see...

Yes, its your higher self ... that part of you that you most respect.

Is it the wind? This has quite an eerie atmosphere, or is that airy...?
