A Life in Words

How do you describe a feeling as small as a sigh... Something that everyone hears, something that everyone can feel when they hear, something that everyone understands without needing any words. That feeling when your body reaches its most tense point, where your body's muscles all contract and everything feels tight. Your eyes roll into the back of your head and your lips close shut, your lungs start to take in more and more air feeling as if they are going to explode and then all at once like a train releasing steam your airways open and you let slide out this small steady flow of air. Your lungs depleting and your chest caving in as it feels like with every inch of the air you release you are releasing every bad memory, every stressful feeling. Your body tingling gently as you take your first breath all over again, your fingers feeling lighter than every and your eyes slowly slide open and you look at what scene you thought you just blew away. And you sit there wondering how you could take a deep breath and right before the sigh you could just stay in that feeling... Everything melting away, everything feeling as if the world for just that brief moment floated over everything
