Breath

Breath. Breath long. Breath deep Take time to acknowledge the breath Understand the importance of our first Resign to the inevitability of the last Between those two points is life Connected by a sequence of breaths Exhale to expel all pain All joy expressed on an inhale In moments of beautiful agony Awake the body torn in a scream Settle the mind with control of breath Feeling the inner peace radiate When trying to battle with mind Thoughts that tear us apart It is only through empty lungs Will we understand what is calm Then if we are aware of anything That small weighs more than large The part of most insignificance Should be revered as is all
