Breathe one more time....

Breathe one more time....

As you pick up those toys strewn on the floor,
The unfolded newspaper, its edges flipping ready to fly,
The cushions needing you to fluff them back,
The drooping flowers on the table needing your touch....
Just breathe one more time.
As you rush to turn off the overflow in the kitchen,
Running back to pick the rings of the phone,
Then rushing to turn the bath water off from overflow,
Turning to the door to attend the unstoppable rings,
Just breathe one more time.
As you pack a special treat for those relationships ,
Picking up all the little needs of everyone on a day out,
Catering to needs of everyone around and far,
And putting your own needs afar and perhaps last,
Just breathe one more time.
You owe so much more care to your own self first,
Pamper, rest the tired soul and hurting feet,
Shut your eyes, lie down and let the world go by,
Hold your aching heart and sing a love song to it and....
Breathe just one more time.

Hear what I don't say

Hear what I don't say
You say you know me well
You read my eyes
The quirk of my face
The twist of my lips 
Yet I know you have missed much
Much more than you know.
Have you seen behind that curve
That quickly changed
As they notice your voice
Did you see the moistened eyes
That could give away my ache
The throw of my head
Really brushed off and ignored
Your failure to know me well.
Hear what I don't say
Look into my deep eyes
Stop the curve of my lips
Quieten the quirk of my face
Silence my mind and yours.
Do you now see what you missed?
The hastened heartbeats
The unspoken emotions
Are so much louder... beautiful
Just need you to quieten us
And hear what I don't say
