Breath and Bones

The push and pull
Of flesh and bone
Will bring us in
And let us go

Inside out 
And outside in
What's constant lies
Behind this skin

When we finally find 
A place so still 
It beckons in 
The Angels here
To reconcile the war 
That holds 
Us taut
Between our faith and fear  

The truth is in the bones 
It seems 
Bare and so alive 
For me 
I'll peel back the flesh 
Somehow 
Allow the world
To reach me now 

If flesh and earth
They carry me 
My breath and bones 
Will set me free
