In this fragile life, <br />I burn candles <br />In the incense room. <br /> <br />I utter prayers <br />In secret places <br />For gentle souls. <br /> <br />I return with my memories <br />To joyful times <br />And forget unpleasant thoughts. <br /> <br />There will be coffins <br />To gaze into <br />And one in which to lie, <br /> <br />But I cherish everybody’s breath <br />And know we’ve gained more in living <br />Than we’ll ever lose in death.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/everybody-s-breath/
