Every Breath
Every breath I take is an eternity.
Need I really say more?
After all, the miraculous is ineffable, is it not?
Yet were you to insist I elaborate,
Be more concrete, precise, for specificity's sake,
I'd qualify my metaphor, this way:
Every breath my being breathes
Is the sweetest inhalation of the eternal now —
A cosmos opening onto cosmoses unfolding in my soul.
