Drawing Breath

15/04/2021 – Poem a Day Compilation



Conscious of the air passing my lips

As I breathe in and out

Sucking in the cold, still air

Of the breaking dawn

Letting out the warmth from my lungs

Seeing my breath plume out in front of me

My hands stuffed deep into pockets

In an effort to stop my fingertips turning blue

And my feet shuffling on the spot

The lambswool lining of my boots toasty

Against the low, rolling fog not yet burnt off

By the suns warming rays

  1. You’ve captured how I feel here in Rural NSW perfectly! It’s damn cold all the time! I have to wear two hoodies to keep me warm 😊
