Quick inhale
Followed by sounds of alarm
Eyes catch their first glimpse of light
Soon after, embrace
Of warmth and love
Unknown but familiar
Baited breath
Curious as to what adventures await
Each day a new story
Are lives written as fate
Or just answers from the roll of a Die
Slow, unsteady breathing
Many years have passed
The story almost over
The inevitable end
Breath in
Breath out
In
Out
In...
