God of my breath,
may the leaves of your trees
in their billions
open in me.
The waves of the sea
eternally bowing in prayer
move in me.
The cry of the hawk
echoing in the canyon
resound in me.
The blessing rain
coming down like tears, like hair,
like a mother’s milk,
come down in me.
Your love, billowing like clouds,
flowing like a stream,
breathing like prairie air,
open in me this day,
move in me this day,
resound in me this day,
bless in me this day.
