The Breath

ever observed

breath and death

both sound same

but have different meaning

by name

 

slow movement of heart

light weighted hearth

light across the earth

shine of cool

warmth of wool

 

pumping of air

a feel to share

a gold layer

and a prayer

 

life is silent

when breath becomes

synonymous with death
