-- In the Presence of Spirit --

John Herlihy

We are the drops

In the sea of humanity.

We are the flame

In the blaze of the fire.

We are the clay

In the ground of the earth.

We are the breath

In the spirit of the wind.

We are the star

In the mystery of the firmament.

We are the moon

In the darkness of the night.

We are the tides

That forever ebb and flow.

We are the trees

That reaches for the heavens.

We are the flower

The smiles in the morning.

With are the storm

That frowns in the evening.

We are the day

In the brightness of light.

We are the evening

In the darkness of night.

We are the body

With caverns in the heart.

We are the heart

With passage into the soul.

We are the soul

In the presence of Spirit.
