That Borrowed Breath

That borrowed breath

was not really your own-

it came from pure light

and was given as a loan.

It is a transitory thing

this entrance to the fall-

up until the last signal 

and a final curtain call. 

A course hewn in time

was given you to follow-

so walk very gently 

on the path before you.
