What is breath?
Not the air now within
now without,
The glass is not the water
nor even the sky the air.
I cannot won all that is in me,
passes through me.
The breath is the action
and the actor,
it is the movement of muscles,
diaphragm, that fills lungs
then empties them.
To focus on the gases
is to miss the breath,
and mistake it's freedom
for ourselves.
We are the breath's tension,
we are it's weakness, shallowness.
The tide of our oceans
not the waters.
When we find and focus on breath,
it is ourselves we find.
