I’ll try to define what signals a sigh,
That tends to rise up from deep down inside.
A longing feeling for love that we miss,
The warmth of arms with a genuine kiss!
A truth that we face ~ a very strong grief,
A sense of disaster that seeks relief.
The very first sigh, was Adam’s to Eve
A garden delight that established need.
Music reminds us to flow with our breath
Sensing each moment, expelling the stress.
For the good of sighing is in the return,
Hardship is conquered, a lesson is learned.
So all of your sighing will help you contrast
The gift of the present, the gift of the past!

If only a sigh could make wishes come true
Yearning and churning in my soul through and through
If only a sigh could construct you a home
On my death's bed I would sigh... not alone.
Sincerely,

Most excellent!
A difficult topic this, in my mind at least. You start by saying "I'll try to define what signals a sigh" , and you did so very well.
This is for me one of those poems where I know what you are saying, but I could not reflect it so well as you have done. You covered well situations in which a person would sigh. The most excellent observation I felt you made was it's connection with breathing.
Since I probably have not given the topic much more than basic thought in the past your final two lines are instructive to me as to what it all may signify. This poem is a good one for meditating upon, to consider something so basic in our lives. Well done! Jadon
