inhaling then exhaling
riding breath to soar,
while on life's ocean sailing
above the endless roar

of thoughts and their cascading,
crashing in between
appearing and then fading
in this living dream

asleep at night or daytime
waking with each breath
thoughts keep flowing in the mind,
sometimes 'all that's left'

waking up from waking
following each breath
peacefully meditating
reborn with the death

of thoughts and their cascading
in this living dream
appearing and then fading
in an endless stream...
