This is pretty cool poetry, "Only Breath" written by Rumi and read by Coleman Barks.
Spend five minutes watching it and see if it doesn't impact you and everyone you show it to like it has me.

quote
One of 25 video poems in Four Seasons Productions newly released Moving Poetry Series - Three innovative new films - RANT * RAVE * RIFF. Only Breath was written in the 13th century by the Sufi mystic poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi and translated and recited in our film by Coleman Barks. Our politicians and generals would do well to absorb the lessons of this poem. MUST be fully experienced on big screen.
