Thou Art My Breath and Death

Thou art my breath and death my sea and shore ...my planet and my sun Thou art earthquake and volcanic make Thou art my soul to bed and my soul to rise and my soul-streaming with light across the darkened sky Thou art my hurricane and my drought my walking in and my going out Thou art my quietest whispers and my loudest roars my shaken sugar and my salt stores Thou art my morning light and my restful night my secret and my friend Thou art my ultimate undoing and my doing it again Thou art my deepest injury and my tender-est of mend and I pray that though art shall be until the un-bitter end
