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

Out

In

Out
