Each Last Breath

Posted on by Mitchel David Ring

White lines lead the way forward

past the rows of hanged men

We follow along, keep our eyes down

and try to convince ourselves that each last breath

is a gentle wind sighing

There’s no end in sight

not to the wind or the thin white lines

or to the day breaking slow above us

turning the dead to silhouettes so beautiful

that some of us stop for a moment to admire them

  1. Love this Mitch. I especially loved these lines,

    “We follow along, keep our eyes down

    and try to convince ourselves that each last breath

    is a gentle wind sighing”

    Great work my friend. Have an amazing day. Love Joni
