The need to breathe, by Crissa C

The clear of the blue
sky clouded
with bits of dust
that came from
out of the blue

as earth quakes
lives shake
hearts tremble
knees tremor

Air is thick with clouds of dust
as weak foundations crumble
and rubble falls around
obscuring that which giveth light
and makes it hard to breathe

As dust surrounds
my heart and mind
it fills them with unease
and makes it hard to breathe

I search for light
and those I love

I feel the need to breathe…
