Just Stating the Obvious

 
I breathe in existence-    in this great world,
all the living and all the dead;
and all the pitfalls swirled:

I breathe in existence-   and vast beauty,
all the forests green and seas blue;
earth's balance my duty: 

I breathe in existence-   and the pretty,
all of the birds and all the fish;
in countries and city:

I breathe in existence-   and all the pets,
all of the dogs and all the cats;
that each never forgets:

I breathe in existence-   and the sweet love,
all the bad and all of the true;
all the loved gone above:

I breathe in existence-    and all of the words,
all the books and dictionaries;
all mine that fly like birds:

I breathe in existence-  all the fame,
all the wins and the failed poems;
I penned in my own name: 

I breath in existence-  this world of hate,
all the pain and serenity;
and peace I will create.
