Zen Poem

There is only one breath taken
In your entire life.
The rest just distract you from it.
They are illusions.

your first breath is purity, the rest serve to dilute the pure intentions and actions of the first breath. as we age our breath becomes stale and we progress ever further toward the rebirth of a pure breathing soul

By-Mevlâna Jalâluddîn Rumi

Only Breath


Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu
Buddhist, sufi, or zen. Not any religion

or cultural system. I am not from the East
or the West, not out of the ocean or up

from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not
composed of elements at all. I do not exist,

am not an entity in this world or the next,
did not descend from Adam or Eve or any

origin story. My place is placeless, a trace
of the traceless. Neither body or soul.

I belong to the beloved, have seen the two
worlds as one and that one call to and know,

first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.
