MY GREATEST EXTRAVAGANCE
My greatest extravagance is time,
therefore I take mine.
Respectfully, cancer taught me
the difference between
false urgency and true emergency
and only one of those ‘cy’s
got anything to do with M-E.
I breathe deep and keep count,
keep the inhale shorter
than the breath that spills out,
push in the third eye
at the top of my nose,
hun and compose
sweet melodies accompanied
by chirping cardinals outside.
What a joy it is to be alive!
What a joy it is to breathe.
To breathe is to be loved by God.
I take time to breathe
out of reverence for the God in me.
God is breath.
The Holy Ghost is air.
My belly fills with the Divine.
Victory is mine!
