A Spirit Whispered Into My Ear

I guess that I asked a question, silently,
of the spirits in the void.
For I did receive an answer,
one that I’ve employed.

The simplicity of the wisdom,
that entered into my soul,
is testament to the truth
that we are but one part of the whole.

So, I as I inhale atoms
moving through time and through space,
I take into my lungs
the warmth of the gods and their grace.

And when I prepare to release them
to those that are dear,
I recall the words that
a spirit whispered into my ear.

“Ev’ry inhalation’s a blessing,
ev’ry exhalation a prayer,
be thankful for what you receive,
breathe love into all that you share.”
