Breath of fire

Blessed One, breath within us
inhale and draw out our anger
and our hurt, exhale and breath
within us love and peace
to purify us
with the essence of You

Let our hearts from emptiness, fly
into the light of You,
through the shining radiance
of You, who whispered "live"
and a spark grew in darkness

Let your breath, that ignites
a river of stars to holy burning,
lift the flagging embers
of our lives and make them eternal
living fire, for You
and in You,
and through You
