The plants are surely breathing us
As we are steadily breathing them
You'd think we'd get better and better
But the carbon keeps building up
And we struggle to hold the balance
Between in-breath and out
It takes a whole year
For a tree's single breath
So secure is its faith in life
Its dying is almost more beautiful
Than its being born
And there are those among them
Who never lose their leaves
But go on breathing the light
As death whispers past
