Breathe it in

Breathe it in; breathe it all in —

the mountains, sea, and sky;

the way white edges of the clouds find an echo

in the snow, and in the whitecaps of the sea...

Breathe, and feel those echoes in your soul:

always shifting, ever new; like pain, and joy,

here for a moment, gone, only to return again 

in some new form; bright silhouettes 

against the changeless background of your being...
