Breath in, breath out, inhale, exhale In every breath I take, there is life. In every breath I take, there is death Stillness in each moment passed. My bed beneath the soil. My heart beats with the pulse of the earth My body the essence of life. All remains unchanged as I sleep Breath in, breath out, inhale, exhale My lungs fill with soil Blanket of grass and trees above me With their roots, with their roots and tendrils Coursing through my veins On my lips teardrops of dew Softly kiss away old life for new Not rest nor sleep nor death I am always unknown I am always unknown Thus begins my cleansing The ashes of Eden beneath my feet A fleeting moment of ecstasy over me
