O WE BREATHE

   by Dick Bakken

This is the way we weave
like a snake from new bloom
This is the way we glide
as dream beneath the moon

This is the way we weave
our silvers through the oaks
This is the way we glide
laughed in fog as we float

This is the way we weave
flicking stones to what’s past
This is the way we glide
up in a wind of chance

This is the way we weave
beyond cry outs at our birth
This is the way we glide
like a kiss round this earth

This is the way we weave
as we snake down your stars
This is the way we glide
upon our   open arms

This is the way we weave
with blue song into the night
This is the way we glide
from our hearts like a sigh
