Prana
Life pulsates in a handful of breath between clenched fist warmth in womb and cold stealth of unclenching in unavoidable void. Destiny’s scroll on palm unfold to the last lap of journey, air rarefies battling odds caught between form and emptiness. Deep breaths heal, through window drifts a skyful of freshness in famished frame happiness looks in your eyes through blooming pores of skin. Prana: life-giving energy
