I Breathe You



I breathe you as I breathe life,
filling my soul with the passion of living,
deeply, joyously tasting each breathe,
holding it, holding it...savoring the warmth,
lingering, lingering...long as I can,
exhaling, just to breathe you again,
as I breathe life,
shrouding my heart in the folds of the moment,
holding on, holding on,
until I breathe you again.

Never stop breathing it, James.

by the grace of God.

JWesley~
I like the very idea of someone breathing me in - and then -
'deeply, joyously tasting each breathe,
holding it, holding it...savoring the warmth'


*Deep Sighs here*

Breathtaking write.
