Breathe, You Are Alive

Breathe and you know that you are alive
Breathe and you know that all is helping you
Breathe and you know that you are the world
Breathe and you know that the flower’s breathing too
Breathe for yourself, and you breathe for the world
Breathe in compassion, and breathe out the joy
 
Breathe and be one with the air that you breathe
Breathe and be one with the river that flows
Breathe and be one with the earth that you tread
Breathe and be one with the fire that glows
Breathe and you break the thought of birth and death
Breathe and you see impermanence is life
 
Breathe for your joy to be steady and calm
Breathe for your sorrow to flow away
Breathe to renew every cell in your blood
Breathe to renew the depths of consciousness
Breathe and you dwell in the here and now
Breathe and all you touch is new and real
