Rescue

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

    1. 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 :)
