Breathe

Breathe

0:00

As you breathe and the leaves fall, 

Yellow islands on green seas,

So too do my walls fall 

As I inhale your love for me 

Cradled in silence 

Comforted by mercy 

Your face emerges 

When I stop speaking  

When I stop moving 

Constructing myself 

Returning to the child 

I hid so well 

Your arms around me

Laying in bed 

Doing nothing 

A heartbeat in my chest 

Doing the holy work 

Of keeping me alive 

What I do is nothing 

What I breathe in, is life
