Poem of the Day - April 26

Today's poem is by Brandon McLeod.


Respire
by Brandon McLeod

Deep resonance within me
tribal drumming
the high stiff tone of a pipe
respire and gravity loses its hold
and     I     am     released
Rocketing to the edge of the universe
I feel the swell within me
the soft vocals, tertiary,
almost obliterate my rush.
closing my eyes,
the pulsing, pulsing
saturates my mind.
Benevolent and wild
you take me over the edge,
and when you break
the silence within me
is haunting.
