Breathe and let the heavens sing

Breathe and let the heavens sing.
Be like the supple leaves,
Sheathes of velvet friction,
The harmonies of angels' whispers.
Breathe and let the heavens sing.

Be like the loyal sun,
Whose darkness is but a shift in light,
Whose stubborn beauty imbues
The vast and voiceless night.
Be like the loyal sun.

Loosen up with the wind.
Unlock your lungs, allowing heat
To laugh through your heart,
Swallowing the insolence of God.
Loosen up with the wind.

Do not thirst but sip.
Each wilting taste must sting
And tarr the toungue with burnt earth spices,
Cooled, cask sweet, wood-stained in souls.
Do not thirst but sip.

In a word, relax.
Let the tapestry of spirit
Flutter carelessly in your breast.
Transcribe its beat, and muffled song.
But in a word, relax.
