The Breathless Cycle

I know that I am alive…
for every breath that I take,
I take a breath of life…


I inhale the air of freedom,
peace and calmness – 
it fills my soul with 
a prominent chemical known
as love

As I exhale,
I discharge of all the
vexatious feelings 
and wrath that I 
had for that brief
second in time – 
which could only be 
released once that
chemical passed
through my lungs

My body feels
revived and I…
I am a new person,
filled with the
perfect balance between
life and love

This is a cycle 
which will remain
unbroken until 
I stand in front of my 
Heavenly Father
