life of a breath

To the count of 4
Taken in
The life of a breath
Is short and quick

One short journey
One touch
One warm body

Forgotten by the body
once exhaled...
Entered as life-giver
Gave life and lost itself

Lost forever
To the world
Changed for life
In a jiffy…
Taken in and breathed out

To mingle with other
Free-floating but lonely
Suspended air molecules
