Breathe full dear lips on life and love
and break the night in pieces
Inhale the moon and the mystery
and exhale a detailed thesis

As full as the light the lungs ingest
and fuel the stars in their place
Here eternity itself reflects
an empty surface on its face

Let one ripple in a moment held
echo beneath the waves we see
and bring to life a mind compelled
again to gasp and to breathe
