Just Keep Breathing

Breathe.
Just keep breathing
And some more
Hold it
Feel alive.
A magic called life
Is just unfolding

So long
How many breaths?
No count?
Wriggling through
The dead cells
Is Hope
Banking on the whiff
So, breathe along.

Breathe.
There is nothing more precious
A mere puff of air
Can thrust your life ahead
With aplomb.
Mighty you will stand
When the show has ended.
And with that last breath
Everything is gone

    Yes dear, Dr Annie Castelino, you said it correctly in a way we all should like and appreciate it. I personally liked your pleasant presentation; and it is very much so. Yes, with our last breath everything is gone forever !!! Never mind, for people like us who believe in the Providence and Love of our Lord, it is insignificant; as we all will be there with Him for ever !!!

    But Bible says in St James Ch 4:14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
