breath

Disregarded, do you come and go.
Yet, meriting honor and esteem.
For you are life to me.
Arriving with no fanfare,
Gone on your way again.
Slipping away unnoticed
Time and time again.

Ethereal in your essence,
Connection with indwelling spirit.
Entwined are we in your legacy,
Seen as mist shining in the icy air.
Stirring our senses as you whisper in our ear.
Your tides are with us always,
Time and time again.

In stillness may I give you homage,
Silently contemplate the sanctity of transfusion
Drinking deeply of your ongoing gift,
Laughing in the crystalline joy you bequeath.
For you are friend to me,
Ally who succors me
Time and time again
