breathe in, breathe out

do you feel it?
do you feel your breath on your hand ?
do you feel your chest rise as you take it in?
the breath that fills your lungs
then a moment later exhales the world as it leaves.
that momentary, insignificant breath is so much more;
it is life,
it is opportunity,
it is today,
it is now,
it is this moment
to create,
to be,
to love,
to laugh,
to mourn,
to worship,
to dream.

this breath is life.
and this moment is to be lived.
