O my darling, darling Breath of Life
Touch the skyline
Pull me in close to embrace the wonder
You walk on the mountains
Carefully stepping over the cottages
And deer sleeping in the soft grasses
I like to watch You when You're moving
As a smile reaches the far corners of my brothers face
Or the wind pulls the heron a little higher into Your arms
My heart rests when it's with You
Leaves the heavy clothing of the world
To sun on the riverbank
And bathes in Your loving words
Whispered for my ears alone
When I want courage, I look for You
In the cool dark of the forest
You teach me a warriors ways
How to love an enemy, a neighbor, myself
How to use cloak and shield and dagger
To defend against the shadow
Who strikes when I am already wounded
A great cat in the jungle
Merciless, laughing at the crushing blow with yellowed fangs
You call me up into the treetops
Where no tiger slinks among the ferns
To listen to the sound of Your song stirring the maples
To feel the rhythm of the Earth as she calls forth the largest star
Then the moon
Now, to me
Her little fragile Daughter cradled in the boughs
What do I have, if I have not Your love?
Where would I go to, to be completely alone with my grief?
You don't allow it
Great Stallion of the South
Who bids His fold to follow into the wild
Mean it danger or green pasture
But your call is a delicious sound to me
Moves the air with music, the Great Mystery
Of which I am part
I would rather run to the ends of the stars with You
Than sit quietly alone, and wonder what it all means
Love is the answer!
Thunder-clap, peal of the bell, brush of Your lips to mine
The White Wolf breaks the depth of the night
Clad in moccasins and paint, I go to
Where He waits for me in the crook of the hills shoulder
Past the buffalo lullabying on the waste
The elder with a gun and whiskey, steeled against the woes of men
We run until I no longer need air for my lungs
Or light for my eyes
Just You
Just the green of your gaze in the twilight
The sound of Your laughter
Morning slipping over the sandstone and clay
I turn to see where the sun rises
Only to find that
I am inside of it
Sister to each and every sparkling spirit
Every point of gold
We are inside of the Son-rise
By the beauty of Your heart for all of us
Dawn breaks
Touch the skyline
Pull me in close to embrace the wonder
You walk on the mountains
Carefully stepping over the cottages
And deer sleeping in the soft grasses
I like to watch You when You're moving
As a smile reaches the far corners of my brothers face
Or the wind pulls the heron a little higher into Your arms
My heart rests when it's with You
Leaves the heavy clothing of the world
To sun on the riverbank
And bathes in Your loving words
Whispered for my ears alone
