The Breath Taking ( Part Two )
.................................... ( part two )
Teach them
Of silent voices
echoing through perceptions poised
within the easy spectacles
of this worlds landscaping
this planet in uniting life light and colour
speaks words of creations harmony
of living balanced perfectly
chaotically
proclaiming resplendence shining in the hands of the heavens
For the breath taking
Learning may impart
the feel of a heart beating
a pulse invoking tiny rainbows
on filament insect wings
enhancing in light dancing and playing
to a ballet of blue flame
transforming mountains standing
ringing
through valleys in the dawn
For the breath taking
To grasp with wonder
air once rushing hot from the lungs of a tiger
a breath to run free across vast waving plains
canyon leaping between feet of gazelle
show them how to glide
with the eyes and wings of eagles and butterflies
tell them of speechless colours
dazzling under star strange nights
wake them with sky painted silver water
burn them with soft petal fire
For the breath taking
Convey how you know this human dance can amplify such astounding beauty
as a spectator to this light inspired Earth
as it cradles humanity
in its untamed flawless fragility
For the breath taking
whisper to them songs of streams
calls of waterfalls
in words of whales
nouns and verbs of leaf and tree
wait for them with misted forests
and hues of icebergs
be life
staring from the eyes of animals
I know living in the corpuscles of your blood
breathing from each and every stone
and each and every pore
you know we are something more
all
for this life in the making
all for
The breath taking
