The Country Air

inspiration
expiration
breathe it in
let it out
the country air
fills ours lungs and lives
soon

fly me to the place
where my tribe
greets me with arms
held high in the air
reaching to scoop me up
and hold on tight
lots of luscious lips
ready to kiss away a year
of boo boos
taking away the wicked
voodoo
that stalked us in the last
365 days
Our blended laughter....
cutting through and away the haze

as we breathe it all in
and let go our cares
wrapped up with our soul kin
in the clarity of the country air

let me sit in the sun
with the ones I love
open hearts and open throats
singing dan so true and real
all night long
let the moon bathe us in her
peaceful glow
as we reconnect with each
kindred soul
that journeyed to this place
to once again know the grace
of just being
together
again

as we breathe it all in
and let go our cares
wrapped up with our soul kin
in the freedom of the country air

beauty, love and peace abound
as we meet on newly hallowed ground
not a care or concern will be found
when the tribe is gathered with love all around
doris ann, we hold you so tightly
know that you are there with us nightly
as we sing and cry and gather soon
we will see your smile reflected in the moon
that hangs above us....our night light
watching over you as you continue the fight
for your own peace and serenity
you are not alone, you've got us...your family

as we breathe it all in
and let go our cares
wrapped up with our soul kin
in the comfort of the country air
