our first inhale
inspires a wail
every breath on lease
until breathing cease
his name rests on our tongues
spirit fills up our lungs
oxygen’s gifts from above
inspire us to be, do, love
fuller gulps we request
when exerting our best
inhaling the holy
exhaling the hurtful
breathe in life’s air
breathe out a prayer
our final breath
expires in death
until…
resuscitated to life beyond here
drink deep of celestial atmosphere
