Last breath.
First breath.
One heard in solemnity,
the other in joy, beginnings.

Breath that is the giver of life.
The taker of life.
Spirit moving:
From the trees, plants,
breath across space,
in the air, the winds,
filling lungs,
making life,
breath-web.

Breath as focus, awareness,
back to the body that depends
on its gift of energy, vitality,
and the delight of filling lungs
and sensing this moment where
the breath becomes dependence.

Here in this entangled space.
This moment.
The filling.
Porous.
The gratitude.
Pneuma, sustaining,
whole, the pulse, blood-red.
