Our Breath

Our Breath

My breath,

                Our breath,

                                The rustle of leaves.

My heartbeat,

                Our heartbeat,

                                Susurrations on the breeze.

My dreams,

                Our dreams,

                                Green splendour of nature.

My life,

                Our life,

                                Defying all nomenclature.

Adrift on a cosmic island,

                Wondrously

Alive

                Myriads

                                Interconnected

                                                Wonders.

Opher – 20.11.2024

Sometimes you simply have to stand aside and gasp. Here we are on this tiny rock spinning and spiralling through space at colossal speeds.

Once, just once, the chemicals came together.

Now we have this vast interconnected web of wonder, spawning consciousness, self-awareness and beauty.

So delicate, so unlikely, so marvellous.

Incredible. I am incredulous.

We are part of this. We are all one. My breath; our breath.
