An original Poem by Thatcher:

I Breathe

Now I breathe
the world pauses
everything glitters life
swirling, smashing wonder
all around me but stilled and frozen
another moment passed and forgotten

Now I breathe
fast forward with a vengeance
out of time, out of place
everything down the drain
colors vibrant pulsing end
grey creeping in with the cold
the end of my last gasp

Now I breathe
I breathe my last
