A single breath

Stay awake baby. Love is here to help you. Shake yourself free and live your moment in a broken silence.

Distance yourself in the minutes of thunder and turmoil to gather the courage you hide.

Breathe. Close your eyes and dance. Sway to the wind in your hair. Hold upon the breaks of whispers. Send your mind to peace.

Calming the rages within you, seek the warmth of the sun. Do not look to your heart. Look for the knowledge, the wisdom you hold close to your spirit.

Soar to this upheaval.  Sting yourself into the reality of life, just long enough to understand just how precious you are.

Can you walk? Can you hear the low pounding of your veins? Do you feel the power being placed in areas of your spirit?

Did you know that I, daily, have to scream these inside my mind. Quake the roll of earth shattering inside my soul, only because my steps are soft.

And when I become alarmed I quiver with vibrant colors. The prayer I give to Jehovah for constantly throwing strength into me. Pure.

And here I stand staring at the mirror placing an entire day into one second cells. A small triumph I have just to redeem myself.

Yet I remind myself the first step is to breathe. Chaos, diversions, rattled nerves and emotions are always surrounding me. Yet just breathe. Stay alert.

I splash water across my face and turn my heels towards the door. Heel, toe. Heel, toe. A march to mimic the agression I may face. As much as it fills me with anxiety I just stop and recall the broken cells of time.

Silence becomes this wonderful gift. Not for thought nor to rage into lowiness but to open what was once blocked.

Clarity.

And this is how a bit of love can shake my environment. Not drowning nor suffocating. Just unwinding to be the woman Jehovah wants me to be.

Not an empty shell but a filled bubble of surprise. Soothing and grateful.

Intrigued by one single breath.
