TO CATCH A BREATH!

 

TO CATCH A BREATH..

To the most preyed animals, catching a breath is to float flirtatiously with almost guaranteed death: winking, slumbering, and sleeping with one eye open, Yes, this is a world where dreaming during sleep is forbidden. Dare to catch a breath, dare to be lunch for some vicious predators!

To catch a breath for a fugitive of the law, is as tormenting as having rapid irregular heartbeats. The heart beating out of sync with the brain thus rendering irreconcilable thought patterns leading to pounding headaches awash with real fears of ending behind bars. Catching a nap to this forever woke fella is learning to sleep with eyes open like a rabbit. A sigh is all there is.

To catch a nap for a thief after a successful steal is a gold mine and a five-star hotel room for which this self-funded millionaire will pay any amount. Criminal tracks left behind during the crime are always and immediately forgotten by the sleepy-headed outlaw: till the heavy knocks hit his only door. To catch a breath is to catch a thief to a law enforcing personnel.

To catch a breath for a two-timing corrupt politician is always welcomed as a deservedly earned rest from legal public looting of taxpayers and fleecing of the public purse. No need for an upright heartbeat and self-correcting conscious.

To the rest of the wicked out there and all sorts of evil vitiated souls: there's no catching of breath anytime and anywhere as the Lord declared...there's no rest afforded them.

To catch a breath for all the innocent, it is an entitlement and deserved rest like drinking from the coolest well in a hot sunny day. Kick your shoes off, throw hands up like you don't care. Yes, you're even free to throw those sweaty clothes and dive deep down the pool of life. Come on, relax to the max and catch a nap and float in wonderland: Breathe!

To catch a breath is God's Final Promise to man:  for all those who kept His Word down here below...entering God’s Rest is the Final Reward: while those who despised His Word await eternal damnation and the gnashing of teeth. To catch a breath is to catch a nap on the lap of Jesus when your day on earth is done! Getting caught by God during a nap is the best breath there is. There's no rest for the wicked.
