To Reveal

 

I was a hidden treasure 

Given for One's good pleasure

This air I breathe while so rare

A space I occupy as I'm still here 

It flows as the heart that beats

As also for many it gently greets

I came from One as all

This breath once answered a call

We breathe as one as from One we came 

Hearts in unison no existence the same

This breath I breathe while unique to me 

Ever here on my brief journey constantly 

Fulfilling my purpose beyond my existence

Encouraged to bless all by my presence

 

First welcomed me with open arms

A world still savors all this breath charms

Asleep or awake you're always here

Shadows cast all here know I truly care

Invited to inhale, to exhale, to live, to be

My place in time mine familiar to me

This breath in here keeps a world out there

The campfire of my air, knows I'm here

When at sunset I thought of a life lived here

Will I be remembered, will the world even care 

All I amassed that I cannot take

Will the world grieve my loss in light of my wake

No footsteps, no space, no presence, no place

Occupied like this that time cannot erase
