Holding my breath

Inhale.

Breathe deeply,

They say it’s good: 

for your body, mind, soul

To speak what you know is true 

Into existence, into the mystery 

Ruach: Breath of life, spirit

Adam: earth, mud, human

Why do I hold my breath if

 This spirit is the vitality of 

My soul housed inside this husk, so

If my body of mud is protecting me,

Have you ever had the wind

Knocked right out of you?

Can anyone hear the roar of

My ocean my breath my oxygen 

my soul my body my hope

Is my brain protecting me

From speaking into life

 What I know is true?

Breathe deeply.

exhale
