berceuse (compline 2.0)

Breathing in and breathing out. Inhale, exhale. What is uttered on the breath and what is absorbed when we breathe in?
We do it all day long. In. Out. In. Out. A gift and a thank you. A gift and a thank you. A gift and a thank you.
An endless conversation. All day long. As the sun is rising. As it climbs in the sky. In the heat of the day. At sunset. At bedtime. As we sleep and our side of the conversation quiets, the other side continues. He never slumbers, but sings over me through the night alullaby.

A promise to love me all day long and sing songs all through the night.
My life is God's prayer.
