Did I not treasure <br />the breath you took? <br /> <br />The ethereal rhythm, <br />sustaining your body <br />in deep repose. <br /> <br />'Till morning quickens <br />your breath <br />and opens <br />your eyes? <br /> <br />Did I not treasure <br />the breath you <br />just took? <br /> <br />One to sustain <br />your life <br />and my <br />heart. <br /> <br />© Jillian Scott 2009<br /><br />Jillian Scott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/did-i-not-treasure/
