Why
You cannot
Breathe
When you cannot see
The reason to live is
There is nothing-as in
You know there is
Nothing there you cant
See or hear or befriend-
Therefore you cant breathe
What isn't there......
I cannot breathe

&quot;The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things. Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?,&quot;Leonardo da Vinci.
