Breath of air

Breath of air

Let me honour you as living thing

Reminder of all that is alive and fleeting

And has wings

The ability to lift me

Free of thoughts of doom

That can so often trouble this anxious mind

Let me remember

That past pain

Although it lives within

As tortured memory

Summoning up demons

Can never be a force of freedom

In the now

It may be a reminder to take care

And stay free from those places

And wills that

In lacking care

Would imprison

Or enforce a belief in deficit and lack

Let me remember

Breath of air

You are the presence of this new moment

Sensation you bring me home

Truth you live deep inside

In a place

Free of past imprints

Where only spaciousness

Openness

Love and freedom

Abide
