Poem: A Balance

Take one breath after the other
Make one move after the other
Say one word after the other
 
Life is a series of repetitions
Some brilliant 
Some simple
Some mindful
Some unknown, uncounted

(As the length of a life can be
Measured in breaths, heartbeats)
 
And in abundance,
These repeats make
Powerful drumbeats,
Rhythms that, together,
Break the great silence
 
And fan out across space,
The mysterious ripple of us
On this large uncertain planet
