Rescue

Fresh accordian lungs
Every breath Sarayu sends
Saves me from myself.

    I too like the image of "accordian lungs". I just wonder what the heart is - a drum set?

    does the Sarayu refer to the river, the actress, or numerology? I like the sound of the words, but wish I had a clue....

      Hi Joanne. Thanks for asking. It's neither of those actually. I use it in the same sense as author Wm. Paul Young in his novel "The Shack". He uses the word in a non-traditional sense to stand for God's Spirit. I like that usage although some may not :)

    Saving me from myself, when questions stare we hid behind ourselves. Nice haiku!
