being here beyond time

life is made
of breath.

for 8 years we have
been breathing
together––

day-&-night
in-&-out
dreams rising-&
-falling.

our breathing
fills our home
with love
& in its way,
commingles with
the sky.

we breathe
one breath––
our life is
sharing.

& somehow,
far beyond all
resemblances to here
or now,

we are breathing-in-&
-breathing out––
a wish
a hope
a prayer
for love for all
hereafter.
