Volatile.
Red shirt. Black pants.
Sitting still. Staring
As if catching your breath,
Calming your soul,
Quietening your mind.
Aware of your inner volatility.
Taking in each breath
S l o w l y .
Half smile hides immense pain
And the awareness
Of how quickly things can change.
But for now
Enjoying the moment,
Being present,
That is all there is.

And then you were gone…
It was only a dream.
