We breathe in
From nose up
To our mind,
And we exhale down,
An offering from mouth
To earth’s trees.

A very simple
beautiful cycle.
Delicate and vital.
One couldn’t exist,
If the other falls.

Earth provides the atmosphere,
We replenish it,
The balance is clear.
This Earth, a home,
Not ours to drain,
To plunder for profit,
For wealth and greed.
The chasm between
The rich and the poor.

Though all share
The same air to produce.
One atmosphere,
Enveloping all.
A borrowed breath,
A life returned,
In this resonant rhythm,
We are bound,
A reciprocal breath,
Sustains all life.
