BREATHE

BREATHE

By DanaLynne

Breathe in oxygen,

Breathe out dust of angels.

The task of spreading heaven

Over the surface of the earth

Is given to spirits

Who inhabit vessels

Known as bodies.

Breathe in nitrogen

Breathe out angel’s dust

To cover us all with a fine film

Of protection

Against evil,

Against deception

Breathe in helium,

Exhale angel’s traces

The breaths are limited,

A certain unknown number

Somewhere between two

And five billion cycles.

Until the task is finished.

Inhale in H2O,

Exhale memory of heaven

Breath grows faster,

The exchange of bad

For good,

Drains the body,

Draws the container.

Breathe in air,

In exchange for shedding

The errors,

The mistakes,

Hard emotions--

Like hard water

In preparation.

Breathe in heaven,

Breathe out detritus.

The spirit preparing

To vacate the vessel

And return to heaven,

Task accomplished
