Rippling Breath
What is this world
But a place in constant motion
Drifting and shifting in all directions
Never the same as yesterday
For every choice
Every action and breath
That we create
Alters reality as we know it
Bringing forth new emotion
That touches many lives
For better or worse
And in this metamorphosis
We find meaning
Far greater than anyone can understand
For man must choose
How he wishes to touch this world
Inhaling knowledge and wisdom
And exhaling a butterfly effect
Which stretches beyond himself
Connecting with the whole
Rippling through time
Deep into the distant future
