I love life/And for that I breath
Love is this air/Above and suspended
Touching each of us/Without our mind
Reaching down when we call it
I love you/Yes, Stranger, you
My love wouldn’t exist/Without your breath
An abundance of air/Essential for life
Sustainable, because you are alive, and breath

You may seem breathless at times
And seem alone/Yet a small gifted
Flower holds your next breath
Your loneliness exists/Only in yourself
I looked outside me/And received
Oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide/Mélange d’air jolie
