Breath and Belief

On the search for meaning and the simplicity of meditation. 

I tried the church.
	I tried the forest.
I snuck into your temple,
	So that I might try to live again. 
I sought the voice of reason,
	And went down upon my knees.
But when I paused to listen,
	I heard nothing but my breath.
