Breathe


Breathe In...

In the world falling,

Falling, tumbling, crashing

Crashing down around me. 

 

Breathe out...

Out of the dark

Dark voices are calling

Calling, screaming, crying out

Out towards me. 

 

Breathe in...

In the world rising,

Rising, strengthening, building foundations

Foundations under me. 

 

Breathe out...

Out in the light,

Light voices hum, pray, sing

Sing to the Gods

Gods, watching over me. 

 

Breathe in...

In and out.
