Poetry- Let Your Soul Breathe

Suffocated in distress

Lost in uncertainty

I cry for help

And then obsess,

Will my God

Answer me?

I leave no space

For silence.

White flag in retreat.

I drown alone, despairing

he says,

“Let your soul breathe.”

Take a moment to just be.

Here and now,

Alone with me.

And I inhale

the aroma,

Of God ordained opportunity.

As I relax in myself.

And let my soul breathe.

For fear of missing more,

Ignoring what He’s sent my way.

I struggle to let go

Of the remnants of my day.

Guided time is mystery

With no way to still my heart.

But if I try, I’ll slowly be

Able to drift apart

From all that holds me back.

Fulfilled in where I lack

And surrender to thoughts of free

I rush along, in tune I hum..

As I let my soul breathe.

This place of joy amazing

Grateful for all I see.

Able and more than willing

To do what must be done.

To focus on the Father

And His loving, saving Son.

The sun sets beautifully,

Over risen mountain peaks.

As I close my eyes willingly,

To let my soul breathe.

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
