Beauty Breaths Beauty
01 September 2006

Beauty breaths beauty
and you have a heart
Beauty is your beauty
this element of being
divided, if not apart

Where good and bad may gather
and Canadian breath was in your blood
From that land of Ontario
where happiness may not always flow and flood

A reality, that prism from within
of reflection, fractionating out
The way the light captures your soul
to see this connection, perhaps as child to breast
A suckling moment, the moment you are near

But where comes fear,
where comes those impossible breaths
To reach out and know, some one was reaching back
This beauty, the beauty of your breath
beauty breeds beauty, and yours was whole
the spirit although parted, deep within your soul


“In whose hand is the soul of every living thing,
and the breath of all mankind.”
Job 12: 10 KJV
