Song of the Diaphragm

Inherent Essence

Wind has beckoned to move, to some degree, every sentience.

Yet even now, widened eyes and an opened heart

Peers often right through God, an invisible substance.

Breath of eternity flows through us, a viable essence -

A spirit of love that wants to be known, impart,

Lord within and without, orchestrator of all dance.

Composed exhales inspire exponential magnificence

As vapor whirls out of reach; one who only sees life depart

Peers often right through God, an invisible substance.

Wave after wave, an ocean metronome grants

Both as witness and martyr, the opportunity to regard

Lord within and without, orchestrator of all dance.

Spiral wonder emerges from a point in the darkness;

Chaos arranges miraculous, still the admirer of art

Peers often right through God, an invisible substance.

Melodious marvels remain unnoticed by a collective in trance,

While wanderer and wonderer continue to subpart

Lord within and without, orchestrator of all dance

Peers often right through God, an invisible substance.
