Smooth or ragged
even or jagged

breathing is living
whether taking or giving

grasping to keep seeing
extracts a toll on your being

there is no price worth paying
to just keep on staying

to surrender your soul
for another breath

yields an empty bowl
upon your inevitable death.

breathing is living

extracts a toll on your being

there is no price worth paying
to just keep on staying

to surrender your soul

upon your inevitable death.
