Living

did we miss it?

did it pass us by?

or were we only unaware?

That breath we took,

without calculating

or thinking,

we were unaware

or were we?

For with that breath we brought oxygen to our lungs

and that revived us

brought our senses back to life

and we saw

and we felt

and we heard

and we tasted

and we smelled

all the wondrous (and not so wondrous) things around us.
