Tension
Now i can feel the air,
I know it was always there,
Though never quite like this,
It's as if it's gained some weight,
Quite a bit it cannot shake,
Not that i can give much aid,
For it hammers down on us,
Slowly, agaonizingly, enclosing,
Stealing strength and breath daftly away,
Push and pull battling,
Against the ever tauter string,
Striving to eventually,
Break through and breathe again.
Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
