Air


Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Untamed as a hew in mid air is the heart,
so spontaneous ! 
  
Allow the golden coin of heaven 
to beam down at you 
its a living sun
and it lives above the sea 
Drink the wild air of life,
and be its poetry; 

Unnamed is the ocean wild and carefree  
it belongs to you but it also belongs to me 
This is not a Baptism    
slice into it with unbarred laughter 

Don't live in the shallow 
nor sit like a clam 
Swim like the otter 
drink its wild forces
 
You can't tame the wind, 
but you can claim the air.
