WITHIN EACH BREATH RETENTION

 

Within each breath retention

There is possibility

Perhaps all the evil-doers cease

Impacting your personal state of mind

            Soon finding yourself so happy

            It is unable to be explained to others

            Except you see others

            Seeming to glow in a joyous state

            And they seem to have given up

            Trying to explain themselves

            And in that commonality

            There is communication

            Finding another clear focused mind

            However fleeting

            It is okay

            It makes a worthwhile day

            Imagining another so happy

            It makes your place seem valid

All that effort to overcome

Trouble, Illness, pain and loss

And yet come out full of fun

As though life was worth living on

Perhaps if he can, you can.

A teacher is every old joyous person

            No need for an old soul

            Do it now while young

            Realize the flash of time

            A few decades, then gone

            Leave lightening burst behind

            Glorious colors of laughter

            Silent smiles of glee

            And then, poof

            A stiff fog takes the night
