Journal gem 10-18-08

Expel completely the deeply indrawn breath.
There will follow another breath---
release, I live.

A simple exercise
expansion, decompression
the intake of oxygen.

The copper-riveted bellows
re-ignites the hot coals.

Breathe on me, Holy one of God.
The embers of initial love exist
beneath a coating of white ash.

Let me burn, be alight, in You.
