The Air Around You - 7.26.09

The Air Around You

There is a heaven in the space
Around you
There is a peculiar place
Beside you
A purgatory of grace

Many enticed, left standing
Many pulled, left handing
In surrender, all bets are off

There is an undertow in the air
Around you
There is abandonment of care
Beside you
A reckoning so fair

Many unraveled, left grasping
Many become, left gasping
In surrender, all bets are off

The air around you
Would that it were me
Would that I could surround you
Would that you could breathe me

I am unraveled, left grasping
I am pulled, left standing
In surrender
Would that you could breathe me

I become, left gasping
I am enticed, left handing
In surrender
Would that you could breathe me
