This
It's so precious
This breath
Those beats
These breasts
That blood
All of the tissues
Skincells
Organisms that these
Vessels of life are comprised of
It's right here and undeniably present
With each new death its a reminder
How delicate and temporary
these soul encampments get
that we are Loaned
The next second is not promised to us
This I can bet is something we say we know
How all the times throughout my life I've screamed in agony over all the why's
Each moment I waste not embracing
This grace, the universe grants me with every day I wake
I just don't want my last breath to be a waste
I want to feel as though and let my spirit leave it's skin shelter a warm and wonderful thank you note
What a life we walked with these two legs
Oh the dances we danced as children with friends taking for granted each picture mom wanted to take and not embracing those moments is something my heart won't shake
These fingers have traced many outlines of many faces, they have written many words about many soul explorations
A heart must one day finally feel at peace
Our entire lives it just beats beats beats
This brain has never stopped
to wait to think it just ponder ponder ponders
About life and all of its intricate mysteries
So fragile
Oh the moments
I've taken for granted
Only now I can see
I am grateful
I am free
I am returned to the earth
Once humanity has unclaimed my energy
It's all so precious
This breath
Those beats
These breasts
That blood
All of the tissues
Skincells
Organisms that these
Vessels of life are comprised of
The memories we leave
When our physical time is done
These
Beautiful moments
I am so blessed to have shared at least just one.
