In two breaths
I couldn't decide between these two, so here they are.
The pause between a breath let out and a breath taken in seems to last forever. At last a rush of air like the ocean at low tide rambles through my lungs and is let back out with a gradual sigh. I can hear the gentle silence of the ocean against my ear drums and wonder, as I fall asleep, whether that pause lengthens with each moment, until time itself stands still, until my cave of wonders trembles with the rising tide of morning's light.
