the hidden gift; for Annick.

 in every breath
is  a hidden gift
that a thief would covet.

as the breath rises
a rainbow appears in the mist.

But  when the day breaks
the thief flees
to a distant shore.

And the rain will come
pouring on my head
from places unknown,

And the ancestor dance
begins,

day-in day-out
breath-in breath-out

Almighty Compassion,
Almighty Light.
