Inspired by a play BREATH I performed in and written by the very talented unique artist @CarolineJWright1 Music by @LauraWright
ELEMENT OF LIFE
Air we breath air we need
Inhaling exhaling life prevailing
Deep breath shallow breath
Our not noticing breath
When adrenalin seers through our body
Breathing sharper becomes the norm
To guide us through the response of flight and survival form
Lungs expanding oxygen increases
Blood rich with life giving energy
Sustains mind and body in perfect synergy
A newborn's first breath survivingly inhaled
On deathbed a long last breath exhaled
Breathing for talking singing running swimming
Breath for life without which there is nothing beyond blackness dimming
Air is the conduit by which to life we live and bind
Air the element by which all life perpetuatingly gives and thrives
