Is it a forever quest to belong?

From the first moment we are
moved without option into the
bright lights of this other, we
are beyond choice, there is only
one directive from within – live

There is no reason or agreement
attached, no reckonings or reprisals
to regard, there is only the primacy
of breath, and only breath matters

Breathe, now breathe, and breathe
again, now outside the warmth and
comfort of becoming whole, now to
live inside this other, now, but not
alone, we have never lived alone
