LOVE Poem: LOVE THE WAY I BREATHE IT., by Nelson Okeke

Out of the shadows it glows
like a little piece of ethereal

rock on a seashore. It glitters
and flickers till it blinds me –

a snowman in spring warmth.

From the hollow of my fated
demise, I see this otherworldly

torch touch and topple my gloom,
lift and lighten my load as I take a

dramatic turn to divinity. The One
whom I’ve rejected all winter now

bears my fate in His loving hands.
If I didn’t know God’s love existed,

I breathe that air now.
