Breath of God

Breathe On Me God "Breathe" on me with your sweet breath O Lord Light inspiration's "gasp" with breathy embers Sweep out my forlorn "whisper" of melancholy "Utter" the familiar freshness I remember. In soft whirlwind "murmur" stir my heart Refresh my stale swirling breath Resuscitate my starving breath No asthmatic wheeze of strangled death. Let me inhale your animation My words exhale the "sigh" of life's prophecy Your murmuring winds clear my blocked airways To soar on wings of breathing majesty. Open my passages of sighing palpitation My soul alive in eternal respiration 5-3-21 Contest: Breathe Sponsor: Constance La France Required Words: breathe, gasp, murmur, sigh, whisper, utter
