Dichotomy

With thread

taut around my lungs,

constricting my throat

and only a crackling,

multi-colored blackhole

of thoughts

urging my legs to sprint

Release, release,

where are you?

thum thump

until I can’t wait anymore

in my labored breathing I find

a rainbow of light wailing

toward heaven

an urgent embrace

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philipphians 4:7 ESV
