Ruach
"Breath, Wind, Spirit"
The grass green
and cool on
the back
of my warm
neck
I close my eyes
the breeze
of you
flows
over me
My veins dilate
at the sound of your
silence
the vibration
tells me that
you are here
over me
in me
split me
split my tears
into torrents
in the parched
desert
split my sorrows
into sunlight
in deep
darkness
split my cries
into clouds
sheltered
shade
split my pain
into parasols
thousands
twirling
meet me
at midnight
here
in my mind
wrap your self
around me
and let me
feel your
breath
across
my quivered
soul.

The Peace
This is such a beautiful lilting melody, with lyrics that remind us that we can just be. We are spiritual beings with bodies, and our minds are the battlefield of the War of the Worlds, the spiritual world and the natural world clashing over our thoughts and actions.

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

He is our Comforter and Helper. Thank God for His wonderful Ruach. May He strengthen you and lift you up. ❤️
Well-wrought! May the winds always bear us up, at least until we find a safe place to land!
I had to look up "Ruach". I guessed it was spiritual but you know, without context, this reads a little erotically too, which was probably not your intention. But I felt the love.
