Breathe

July 27, 2017

I listened to you breathe last night

clear and unencumbered

no asthma or dreams  or despair

 

In and out, full and even

every breath became for me

the rhythm of life

 

Ebb and flow of seasons and seas

the cadence of Ruah 

mystery of Divine Movement

 

Life flowed into the room

swirled around our bed and out again

leaving light and air and love
