When Breath Turns Into Memory
Savor your transitory existence on this planet
Our breath is what sustains the body and soul’s intricate dance.
Once it departs from the body, breath turns into memory.
All we’ve said and done, endure as imprints in the lives we’ve touched.
Even the noblest of souls, once departed, exist solely in another’s mind.
Our cherished treasures, our children, our extensions of life, hold us dear in their hearts.
When breath turns into memory, our life essence merges with cosmic dust.
Born from stars, we reunite with universal consciousness.
Tethered to the vast void in some ethereal form of energy.
What we so earnestly grasp on our fleeting earthly journey is left behind in an instant.
Our worries, our frets, our woes, mere waves crashing on the sand of time.
Our wealth and possessions are irrelevant burdens left to mingle in the dust.
From nothing we emerge, and to nothing we return.
Empty-handed and liberated from this illusory world.
When breath turns into memory, we’re unbound and free.
Our souls embark on a journey to a realm beyond eternity.
So, savor each breath for its transitory existence, for once it ceases, and our time arrives, the world will continue onwards, but your breath will turn into a memory.
