Borrowing Breaths

There is no use 

borrowing breaths

from this life—

when would you ever return them?

Drop all of this non-sense

and take full advantage of your 

God-given birthright to sing as loud 

as the birds do.

What kind of plant

or tree questions or calculates 

its growth and future?

Today is the only tomorrow that will ever happen for you.

A Great Fullness

Thank you is a practice

That needs to be practiced

For it to become well versed.


Its reward is the true feeling

Of gratefulness

That leaves in us 

A Great Fullness.

Gratitude therefore,

is an over-flowing of our cup

 and a realization that we have 

been poured our weight in pure life.

Giving thanks is easy,

Try now and repeat allowed:

Thank you Breath for breathing me

Thank you Life for living me

Thank you Love for loving me.

Do this every moment you find forget-fullness

And allow yourself to remember the treasure 

that is right under your nose:

A Great Fullness.
