Drink in the air --
Gasp, gasp, gulp, breathe,
Feel the grass that tickles your ankles
The smooth of sweat that roll down your cheeks
The breeze that passes across your skin,
Sweeping away your tension and thoughts
'Til your toes root into the soil
And the rustle of leaves and sundrops matches the rhythm of your heart.
Lie down, lie down,
Feel the earth that cushions your head,
The chorus of life washing over and over
Rolling in waves like the quietest ocean.
I hear you, fellow sufferer,
Breathe beside me, breathe so we match,
Our lungs are tired and I feel my heartbeat inside me
My toes, my temples, my stomach pulsing
A drum that pounds the beat of strength
Of barriers crossed, of battlements breached.
My comrade, my warrior, lie here with me
That we may enjoy this next breath in this life.
