How To Be Alive


Hear yourself breathing.

Feel the breath disseminating,

inside the living body.

Does the breath make you alive?

 

Now, you think...

Perhaps how witless the question is.

And you think again,

but what is that helping you think?

 

It is what you are breathing for.

Simple action yields in complex.

Indeed, thinking isn't a breeze.


So, how to be alive ?

Just breathe...


Uneasy becomes the breath if you want to live,

however, it's still a breath-

invisibly fueling your mind.

 

Inhale the purpose,

let it reach your mind.

You will learn beyond how to be alive.


My breath is uneasy,

air reaching my mind.

Please, share your scent.

I'll create a life...
