Each Time We Breath

it's all new again
our collective thoughts
our passionate wishes
every pulsating beat of our heart
what was no longer is
the script is fresh
we are right here
each time we breathe

the sun shines
the moon miraculously appears
like pieces of fine dust
we absorb the universe
with abundant blessings from God
we touch the fruits as well as the thorns
dispersing our incredible energy
each time we breath

with one foot in front of the other
we continue  our journey
holding unto the virtue of trust
we wait patiently
for our children to grow
for the war to end 
for a loved one to die
each time we breathe

honoring each fleeting moment
we open our hearts
with our enduring presence
we show up we listen
we laugh we cry
with our genuine allegiance
we feel the extraordinary moments
each time we breathe
