do this

don't leave the building don't get out

of the car

I ate steak for breakfast

to fuel my flight into tomorrow

from 360 miles away (everything makes

me cry)

I crawled over broken shards

to the sounds of static

to the smell of stale cigars

arrows and rockets soar high

in slow arcs of echoing thunder

my courage is leaving

I go halfway around the world just

to come to you

I went to the moon

it was black

I went to the zoo

it was closed

I went up the steps

around the mountain

I lost my way

I went to the desert

I went around the world

my ticket was stolen

I gave away my map

I lost my compassion

I lost that long clear slow

deep breath

hope lives in fear

but faith abides

without faith this

is such hard work

I do this

in remembrance of you

take this gift

absorb it

through your tongue

the breath of

one thousand

spring breezes

the fragrance of

the clouds

for all those times

you hurt

too loud/too cold

too much

breathe this glory

be healed
