The Delicacy of Oxygen

 


 

The Delicacy of Oxygen


 

Our most obligatory element,

our main medicine,

the source of the world’s vital essence, 

carrying the strong appeal of wizardry,

knowing that its fate is what leads our fates.

 

We sense the innate need for breath 

reflected in those glorious periods 

of inhalation/exhalation,

similar to the death and birth of spring.

 

Steadily drawn air,

recalled like streams of water with endless flow,

delicate mobility, fluidity on which we rely,

needing to be protected

to maintain its sacred demand.
