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
