A journey through poetry, prose and short story from the darkness of this world into the Light of God's love.

You Breathed On Me

I took a walk today.

            And You breathed on me….

The path was rock strewn along the way.

I stepped around and over them true to my course

True to the path, set my way

            You breathed on me….

            You breathed on me….

The path was golden lit and I knew its source.

Along the sides, a garden as green and fresh

As any known, followed the path, a gift from its source.

            You breathed on me….

             You breathed on me….
            You breathed on me….

The Sun rose warm and pleasant to the flesh

And I knew you touched me through my tears

And your song made chills crawl along my flesh.

            You breathed on me….

             You breathed on me….
            You breathed on me….
            You breathed on me….

Along the path I dropped my fears, my years,

My sinful ways; with no power over my life story,

All have fallen, left outside eternity’s years.

            You breathed on me..

            Full of power without force

            You breathed on me..

            While I praised you along the way.

            You breathed on me..

            Whispering forgiveness in my ears

            You breathed on me..

            Giving me need and reason to pray.

At the path’s end, facing Your glory

I fell to my knees, tears flowing free.

Finally set to forever give You all glory.

            For today,

            You breathed on me.
