Every Breath

By Gerard Traub

Here with my every breath

motionless and calm

deeper than mind

or any rhythm of heart

where no calling

                                                                                                                  no urgency of time                                                                                              

just a presence

and witness to all.

A fire without spark

far smaller than seed

silent from centre

to widest horizons

untouched by words

while formless in nature

born beyond birth

there behind our every breath.
