He breathed a breath, and knew <br />Its origin lost in the depths of time <br />Before even light lit the universe <br /> <br />He breathed a breath, and knew <br />This is no accident <br />It was willed long before memory <br /> <br />He breathed a breath, and knew <br />The breather the breathed and the breathing <br />As three aspects of one being <br /> <br />He breathed a breath, and knew <br />This air carried all history <br />Resulting in its collision with his lungs <br /> <br />He breathed a breath, and knew <br />That in his waking sleep <br />He had taken it for granted; and awakened. <br /> <br />It is said that he who desires Truth <br />More than even breath itself <br />Reaches perfection.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/breathe-a-breath/
