The Breath Is Everything Poem by Joan Woodbridge

Breath

Pneuma

Numen

the invisible
yet not imperceptible
unending dialogue with the divine
hallowed channel that carries
emotion
ecstasy
orgasm

Air wants to fill everything
to go all the way
anywhere it can go
as far as it can go
and farther

Air wants to take you over
to fill you
to feed you
to cleanse you
to move you

Air wants you to get out of its way

Air tears itself apart for you

Air gives its life for you.
