I Breathe In

I breathe in crisp air on a white winter's day,and in summer, the scent from freshly cut hay. I breathe in sweet fragrance from lilacs in June,and the breathtaking view of a red harvest moon. I breathe in sea droplets as waves kiss the shore,and the perfume from flowers that bloom by my door. I breathe in awe at our dear mother Earth,and her seasons and cycles of growth and rebirth. I breathe in knowing we're connected to all,from the trees to the mountains and raindrops that fall. I breathe in the love shared by all living things,and I exhale it back, and this makes my heart sing. I breathe in faith, when my last breath is gone,that I transition home, where my spirit lives on.
