Expand, Contract, Repeat

A heart expands, surging rife

A heart contracts, renewing life

Lungs expand, breathing new

Lungs contract, air passing through

A mind expands, exchanging thoughts

A mind contracts, with fear and plots

A soul expands, during physical death

A soul contracts, becoming a new breath

The universe expands, with a big bang of stars

The universe contracts, in a black hole bazaar

A poem by Brigitte Lyn McBride
