Breathe,
Just like the trees that blossom in the spring,
Breathe,
Deep within, the pure flower of the air,
Breathe,
Feel it flow, not frightening, a sharp tingle, like lightning,
That crosses our souls like a firm bridge over water,
Just Breathe!
Breathe in deep, breath and relax, breathe,
So the question hanging over our day,
Is no longer a fire, a clock that ticks away,
But a tree of our spiritual desires,
Blossoming, flourishing, the apple regained,
So that when we breathe our last,
Our life can be placed under a magnifying glass,
And it can be clearly seen, that our life gained,
From pausing to relax and just breathe.

This is this weeks entry into the competition run by rensoul17@rensoul17

It required the use of the following words from the picture above:

Row 1
Lightning... Bridge over water... Magnifying glass

Row 2
Tree... Fire... Clock

Row 3
Flower... Apple... Question Mark

I have used the sentence
'Just like the trees that blossom in the spring,' as my opening line

and then selected the theme 'Breathe'

All power to rensou17@rensou17 - this week I wold have struggled to use all the given possible lines or themes which means this weeks competition has great breadth and depth.

Good luck to everyone taking part
