Breath - Maeengan Linklater

It's good
to be mindful
of your breath
in life and death
from the turbulant
joy of birth
when you escape
into the world
from your mother's womb

Breathing
is your silent companion
never judging
the decisions
you have made
experiencing
the impacts of your relations

In the twilight
of your life
and reflections
your breathing
becomes
shallower
shallower
shallower
