RESTORATION

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.

Psalm 23: 1-3

At Last, The Inhale

Let me

Catch my breath

Hovering,

Fluttering.

Let me

Feel the wind

Whispering

On my skin.

Let me

Feel my roots

Tracing

Water’s edge.

Let me

Pause there.

My suffocating thirst.

Give me

Time to quench it.

Watch me

Awaken,

Leaf to mountain.

Watch me

Delight in

My restoration.

Let me feel,

Let me mend,

Let me tend

To my soul.

Let me

Linger like this.
