I am forgiving
the plants do not choose
nor the sea or sky
Just as I did not choose

I tried to stop inhaling
but the automatic response
of body has me ever
Exhaling

I dunk my head underwater
in lapses of my swimming
I can stay 45 seconds before I panic
and over a minute if I am calm

I take life by each moment
I hold on to nothing
I am so forgiving
that it keeps repeating
