Hold your breath
Be still
And pick your steps
Gingerly, quietly
Calm your flailing arms down
Slow, slow, tread gently
Catch heavy exhalation
Suspend belief and thought and word
Silence
Pin drop silence
Silence so quite
It is a loud noise
Stop!
Your heart beating fast
Gasp and wait
Wait, not too fast
Wait, and wait again
You are at the brink you know
Of something new
Something is going to happen
And it is the good stuff
No, no, no, still hold in
Keep your excitement down
Learn to contain it
Because
It will blow your mind
