Prayer Breathes In

Australia down under
Australia under prayers 
Prayers that fly
Prayers that bother
Bother your heart
Bother in swells
Swells into far lands
Swells into rocks
Rocks of honor
Rocks of pain 
Pain of forests
Pain of tides 
Tides circling the cold
Tides breaking waves
Waves of emptiness
Waves of glory
Glory in kindness
Glory in honor
Honor we meet
Honor we see
See the emptiness
See the smiles 
Smiles without riches 
Smiles of a trial
Trials that excite you
Trials that see through you
You are endless
You are poor
Poor in richness
Poor in pocket
Pockets of koalas
Pockets of kangaroos safely
Safely finding nests
Safely from the flight
Flight in forest
Flight in your time
Time past darkness
Time from the heart
Heart opens your senses
Heart opening to God
God sounding the music
God holding our hands
Hands touching our brothers
Hands binding the light
Light as your spirit
Light as your love
Love that dawns
Love that breathes
breathe the waves
breathing the dawn
