Leira - Atmosphere

In this air we breathe
There are gases
Not one
But many
Many gases
Not only in this air
But beneath our feet
And among the stars
And within our bones
And within everything
Scattered across this Universe
They make up all things
Living and Dead
All gases and elements
In the present
As seen in Humans
Carbon-based things
From gasseous stars now dead
Scattered by a Super-Nova
And now these gases
Dispersed by exploding suns
They make up our life
The stars
The planets
This planet called Earth
This ground we walk upon
These bones that support us
This air we breathe
This atmosphere
