Breath of Life

Let your inner self flow Midst the tension of the outside world Give in to the natural ebb of Transcending activities and reveries Without compromising your sanctum within Float gracefully in the knowledge of who you are Rest your spirit with every wave of doubt Guard your truth with every single breath you have Resist not every current that tries to rise you up to surface For against it you drawn further Gravity knows who deserves the breath of life If you were to choose between opposite pulls of belief Believe! in the possibilities that honor your right to live Rather than the impossibilities That leave you gasping to death Feel yourself one with everything that surrounds Buoyant to the force around your soul Holding breath for a moment is only a test To find your reservoir of strength You will never lose yourself If you honor the choice of Life!
