The Air We Breathe
by
Phil Pochurek
When I inhale I have presence in this life.
I say please to life in the moment.
When I exhale I have presence in the next life
And say thank you to God for returning my breath
And to life in the moment.
When my lungs are full of air
I’ am alive in the present.
In the flesh and blood of the senses
In the world of nature.
When my lungs are empty
I say hello to life in the spirit
Of the soul in the world of His Divine Light
In the Kingdom of Heaven.
If only for a moment.
I have no body only spirit
I’ am the sum of my thoughts
Alive in my prayers of the Divine One
In His light and love.
With my first breath I say hello as
I enter this life and
The world of nature and man.
With my last breath I say thank you
As I enter the next life
And the world of light and spirit.
All things made of flesh and blood
Need air to breath to exist in this world.
All things of the spirit and soul
Need only to be in his light to exist in heaven.
With my last breath
I will say good-bye to life in the present
And close the door to the world of nature and men.
With my last breath the world will stop
As I know it and I will say hello
To eternal life in the Kingdom of light and love.
And enter the Kingdom of Heaven
Returning to the source of my essence.
Like a ray of light reflecting off a mirror
So I’ am returned to Him.
In my soul I have seen His image
In my heart I hold Him near.
With every breath I take He is in me
And He is the reason I’ am here.
