God's Breath

i felt God's breath upon me
as i lay sleepless....
my soul yearning to escape

the confines of flesh and bone....
my spirit burning with the need
to unlock the simple....

that my understanding could not define....
shooting stars, flash moments of brilliance
in a sky both dark and deep....

beyond striving, beyond suffering,
to the electric pulse without barriers.
beyond fear, and all discerning....

the hidden place without
beginning or end....
the touch that opens a flower,

and heals the tear before it falls!
the breath of God upon me,
defining my smallness with infinity....

and infinity in the smallest particle
of dust illumined by the light!
