A Breath

By: Chris Warren Smith

A breath of fresh air
Contains Argon. Non-reactive
Elements that have been here for thousands of years.
Fossil remains of Christ and the Buddha.
Yes. You breathe the same air that they did.
What if air had color and we could witness us sharing this gift.
You could see my breath exiting me and entering you.
We could see that this life force that sustains us also connects us.
Perhaps even more fascinating is the mere month it takes for one breath to circum-
navigate the globe and returns to us.
You give it away and it comes back.
Pure love from our creator.
So take a breath. Take a deep breath.
