Give me Breathing Space
Author Name :Raïs Neza Boneza
Give me breath
A dust of time
Without storm, without soft wind
In a sublime rest
Without life, without death
Give me breathing space
A moment of quietness
Without world, without heaven
Pausing in an abyss of emptiness
Without hatred, without love.
Give me breath
To sit alone
To swim in the nothingness of oblivion
Without delay, without night
Without heat, without cold.
Abandon me, drop me.
Distant of pity, distant of anger
Without paradise, without hell
Divorced of war, divorced of peace,
Without satisfaction, without starvation.
Give me breath
Without you, without myself
In a muck of ashes
Vision plunged in the blueness of sky
Vague image of hopelessness in a bottomless cavern
In the shadow of grace
Give me breathing space. •
