I breathe in deep.

And yet you keep
having me chase
the next as if a lungful
wasn’t enough.

Your poem is full of feeling without even using a feeling word. It is short but also full of meaning. I have long been fascinated with the word, inspire. It has two seemingly opposite meanings: to breathe in and to prompt or motivate. But if we do not take in enough oxygen to maintain life, how can be get motivated or energized? Excellent poem, ryn. Thank you. Your word skill is extraordinary.
