if i only have 1 breath left…..
let it be with the ease of a silent morning……
let it resonate
with the universe
announcing my arrival

no pondering
no contemplation
mere simplicity
of the moment

heaviness
panting
wheezing
gasping
all bygone
for this breath is pure
…………………….untainted
……………………………unadulterated

this breath
still belongs to me
and i shall breathe it
like a sip of the finest burgundy
i shall relish it
like
the dew on a misty meadow morn
i shall encompass it
like
a lover rediscovering passion
i shall savor it
with the testament
………………….that it is a reflection of life

and when
this last breath
passes my lips
let it resonate
with the universe
announcing my arrival
