I Am Breathed By You

I take just one breath 
and you fill my lungs.
But how wrongly 'put' that is!

I AM BREATHED BY YOU
And when I stop to watch
and FEEL your power,
deep inside . . . .
following You,
merge with every cell of mine, 
I realize I am not alone.

I am not an Island,
But I TOO am the Ocean.
My cells are not my own . . . 
I am your vessel . . . 
A small boat upon this Ocean of life.

I try to go my 'own way' 
but your current is SO Strong - 
not demanding, however-

but gently pulling me
towards you,

We are ALL pulled gently
towards YOU.
