Hear My Breath

To those who stand on ivory towers,

To those who knell for they cannot stand,

To those who breed life from words,

Hear my Breath

For I cannot write to those who stand,

Nor to those who knell,

For I cannot write only for myself,

My breath is not for you

My Breath is for those who are not expectant,

My Breath is for those who are surprised,

My Breath is for those who are overjoyed,

What is it to you

For this goes to those deserving,

Be they rich or poor in spirit,

For my Breath is cherished

Can it be for you

You know not the meaning of Breath,

You know only the words,

You know to write but not to sing,

My Breath is meant for you

So sing your songs and I'll Breathe mine,

For my breath was not always for you,

It comes and goes and can not be explained,

So hear this final word and Breathe
