Air

Air

by Ahmad Cox

There is air between us

That touches everything

Every part of the world

Has touched some other part of the world

At some time or other

We are all living in air

There is air that we breathe

That is in us all

That is in everything

Even the deepest depths of the ocean

To the deepest cave

Still has some air

Touching

Swirling

Caressing us all the same

It blows with force sometimes

To let us know it's there

None of us are separated

Though we are separated by space

Separated by time

There might be air in between

But all of our hearts are connected

In their own ways

And every single one of us

At some point in our lives

Has been recycled by the Earth

And by the air

And by the ground

Recycled and reused 

Death and rebirth

Played over and over again

Until we all are apart of each other

And we are a part of the Earth

We can't deny it

We all live here on this Earth

Breathing the same air

Taking up the same space

Living together on this Earth we call home
