(Poetry/ Vol. 1. ) Breathing Heaven


from THE RAGGED WRITINGS OF EVERLAND



Breathing Heaven

By myself I can write, and write the dead thing
Alone I can follow leads, and take the wrong one
Destitute I can look for gold, and find only a fool’s
But when I breathe I am in the centre of your will
With you one hundredfold . . .
Not alone: doing always my appointed thing

Breathing – and in every breath I can know I am with you
You give it to me, no one else, you do it for me  
Breathing – and in every breath I am in the right place
Breathing, breathing heaven, there I do no wrong

I can ask for understanding, and chose my own
I can hope for knowledge, and take the wrong kind
I can make a decision, and it can be quite out of line
But when I breathe, I am in the centre of your will
With you in your perfect life a hundredfold . . .
Breathing heaven! 
In the happening-life of the in-and-out of air:  found!
