Sins
To stand at the heart of the Earth
And breath in a simple sigh
With out stretched arms
Reaching to the veiled sky
Whispering simple words
Of hope and praise
Speaking modest thoughts
Of a time, of a better place
Remembering the shortened past
As a memory whose edges fade
Lifting a voice on high
To a source that is only shade
Breath in with each phrase
Exhale out to the common end
Where the words meet heaven
But us?, shall always descend
