AIR

[MPerry]

                                               

　

                                          AIR

each time to be drawn-in, underestimate-we placate/never forget

this love-a life giver-borne out of the air, we breathe in-ready

our holy-accepting it-to stir us/we hold deep down-react-from instinct

create -anticipate it/in each other's movements, lying here in the dark

　

so simple/our act of breathing air-we are assured- left to confiscating

irradicate the fear/keeping us free from doubt,  forget/ have no regret

we are two lover's with hearts laid bare/ wanting only to be appeased

made whelmed-make ready made, to surrender we react-here/now

　

with offers of sacrifice/give of ourselves/breathe in the air/ to syncopate

true love made/ left to anticipate/there with shifting shadows-we will call up

challenge/reach for/make ready-to journey, crossover to that great abyss

maker of all-sky/nightfall, caress in it/subtle changes/ we collect ourselves

　

casting light over dark/to come alive-thrive-conceive/love/die/cling/ desire it

perfect this love-consecrate/ recreate a time-some place- carry over focus on

make clear-intuit/ cleave/hold it-bring forth/consummate-dare to be - reach for

those reasons why/not believing as our love came to life/ simply by breathing-air
