Midnight inspiration...

inspire me
breathe me in
my essence consumed
yet not used up, eaten, gone
rather, like the Phoenix in the flames
my spirit is renewed - i am restored to life.

i am inspired
inhaled deeply
lungfuls of me gulped down
until Gaia, once more replete
sighs me into being.

i inspire;
i am Muse, God, Oracle
my very breath is sacrament
its vapour desired, bottled, inhaled

my lungs house the Spirit
"I Am That I Am" pulses through my body
each heartbeat echoes across the rib-cage
and the whisper heard only by the angels is believed to be:

breathe
inspire
be inspired...
