As We Breathed
AS WE BREATHED
As we breathed we tasted the air
Of places in our minds we share,
In the hedges of Tipperary
Where the tiny sparrows sing
With range of voice
That calls out longer
Than its tiny wing
The Hawthorn berry catches it here
And allows its notes to stroke its sphere
The wind lifts it over Beech green and thick
Over hill and dale
Through bough and brick
And the song is heard by the tiny fly
Who acknowledged all natural beings nearby.
And as we breathed we tasted the air
Of loving hearts that we did share
And it is here that the place of Soul is found
In the air and on the ground
Where it wandered in the longing-loam
For this is the choice
And the Soul is home.
