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!
