Blow

sometimes i awaken

gasping for It

like a runner

straining for hours

collapsing for It

or a mogul

deluded by power

grasping for It

and anxiety is

rowing my boat

and panic is

closing my throat

and my fear

has decided to

take It away

but then Love

senses my struggle

with intense suffocation 

morphing into supplication

and in Silence

and Infinite patience

gives It back

in a Way

that freely opens

my constricted airway

to receive It

and fully expands

my shriveled lungs

to Breathe It

like the Spirit

continues to Flow

like the Wind

continues to Blow...

Thanks.
