Live I

 Live I

live I with roots and wings

be they of visions

in purposes defined

in dreams yet dreamed

be I the anchor

be I the sail

a pause, a breath, a BEING.

and so... we sail

we greet the rising and setting SUN 

the way of waters becomes known 

the calm, the fury, the gentle 

the thunderous cresting waves

the ebb and flow 

and our glory, our blessed glory 

resounds in the pulsing of our hearts.
