The Air We Breathe Poem by Daniel Brick
The Air We Breathe
The air is so clear and pure
on summer mornings I feel doubly
blessed in its presence as if
there were another force, equally
invisible, moving in perfect balance,
like an apprentice air learning
this daily passage through the wide world.
Two layers of air mirroring
each other cleanse the world
in tandem and in their seasonal
parallel of perfection we, dependent
on the air we breathe, find our lives
enriched by the doubleness of air.
Oh, simply praise this divine abundance!
As I walk along the twisting path
across Salem Hill Park, I feel
strengthened by my awareness
of the doubled force of air.
It is a worthy pastime to learn
how nature works just by being alert:
That knowledge raises our eyes to Heaven!
Nicely expressed. The theme of air is so prevalent in poetry and I've been especially attuned to it lately, that I'm sure that is what must have brought me to your poem this morning. Doubled air is a beautiful metaphor/symbol for the openness/readiness of the speaker in the poem to receive all that nature/the world has to offer. There is so much beauty available to us, that we need to be ready to receive it. I love the degree of enthusiasm expressed by the speaker in the lines, 'Oh, simply praise this divine abundance! ' Use of the mirroring term also illustrates how the beauty of our earth reflects the beauty of the divine and you've done a great job of showing in this in your brief poem. 'the doubled force of air. It is a worthy pastime to learn how nature works just by being alert: ' These lines are critical to being fully alive, to being a great poet/writer, and to be a productive active part of our world, nature, the earth, and to opening the spirit. Well done Daniel. I enjoyed reading this. Thanks.
I'm reminded of great Wordsworth n Pantheism to read this wonderfully written poem. If we pay attention, we can sense that Nature has a spirit too n God's presence can be felt in every object of nature. A parallel existence of physical n spiritual world is beautifully depicted here. We find peace in nature because we can feel a presence in it that we can connect with n count on. Lovely write. A big 10
Clean world is better visible in two layers of pure air. God has created and offered this air for our existence. This is so clear and so pure that we clearly visualize this. Summer morning gives the feeling of double effect. Walking in twisting path on the bank of Salem Hill Park memory turns in to poetic expression that amazes minds on readers. This knowledge raises our eyes to Heaven is true. EXCELLENT POEM! ...10

As the Phoenix dies in a show of flames only ro be reborn from its own ashes, so we slowly disolve into the air with every walk we take, only to obtain new powers to arise...we decompose before being whole again into the nature: and this is the secret that only Nature and we know, everytime we take a walk...
