breathe into me

Dive deep
explore the sea
in swimming ecstasy
with final breath
I gasp for air.

See sun beyond sea surface
stretching, writhing,
stressing, reaching.
chains fall
around
and bound
me to ocean floor.

Strangle.

Water rips through lungs.
I feel
I need
the Life
of Air.

Surrender,
Embrace.

“Breathe into Me
My Saviour, Breathe”

“The cords of death entangled me, 

the anguish of the grave came over me; 

I was overcome by distress and sorrow. 

Then I called on the name of the Lord: 

"Lord, save me!”  ~  Psalm 116:3-4
