The way of the breath

The way of the breath
25 November 2020 
Outlook opening
within the mind a sparkle
zest of life’s vigour
  
Growth of energy
in landscapes of a picture
hanging in my head
  
Seascapes designs show
outline of an entity
forming from essence
  
Contours’ perspective
a vision of a being
prospect of morrows
  
A quick glimpse to view
aspects of the living soul
The look of the heart
  
The stretch of the sight
A scene of silent beauty
The way of the breath

You are my bright star

The descent

In love’s psalmody

Binding heart

Rule of thumb

Thoughts about when we were numb

Hearts bitter and tight

 

Reckoning

Of imprint of soul

Unknown call

Of the tribe

The flutters of heart describe

Effect of the fall

 

Wave of dreams

You are my bright star

Suspended

In the skies

You are reason my heart flies

To polar extremes

Blackbirds fly

In the summer sky

Forests glow

In my chest

Bosom upon which to rest

Your body awaits

 

Flailing lungs

Gasping for the air

Broken nights

To repair

Toiling with my daily care

Replenishing days

 

Dreams to sow

In my memory

Within mind

Count me in

When the hope is running thin

The bliss I rewind

Within me

I now find myself

Within out

Without in

Travesty of innocence

I know my own dark

 

The true heart

She wells inside me

Now she says

Remember

Everyone I laid eyes on

Only you I loved

 

Morning’s lark

Wakes in me the light

The nights’ cull

Comes undone

Weaving in chest none to fight

Soul ne’er black nor white

Green foliage

Covering the ground

Seeking eye

Now spellbound

I breathe in the summer’s dew

Seasons brought anew

 

Clouds gather

High above in skies

They rumble

With the seed

Of water mingling with salt

Life breeds a new creed

 

Falling rain

Shimmering raindrops

On my head

They sparkle

They point to a new cycle

Of Love’s wilderness

Music set

Melodies thriving

In my blood

As they flood

The synapses of my brain

Through journey in ear

 

Parting point

Rhythm now disjoint

Like my knees

As they ease

Into postures of dances

Of my wild prances

 

Summer slow

Eases into spring

Daffodils

On the hills

Where I hear your echo ring

Rumbling in my heart

I know not

Spelling of distress

No more now

I Know how

I am no longer mistress

Of my own heart’s vow

 

A new leaf

Forgotten the grief

I packed bags

Gathered rags

Elevated to riches

From the keen stitches

 

Soul mended

Intention set North

I abide

By my rules

I will bow not to the fools

Only you come forth

The rancour

Now melting away

Mind knows night

Heart knows day

The soul in between to sway

Springtime steps astray

 

Summer bloom

Moves springtime too soon

Into past

None to last

Watching bearded chin to groom

Lost in the whiskers

 

Hidden fruit

Shielded from the eye

In darkness

Your lips curl

Fleshy taste of strawberry

I unearth slowly

I fly high

Within bosom spread

My wings soar

Ever more

I am a kite in the sky

Through the clouds I fly

 

Nothing lasts

The hurt now swallowed

Deep within

We wallowed

Sunshine then struck off the pain

Shining through the rain

 

April’s crops

Showering raindrops

Summer’s hay

To follow

As we dance on the rooftops

Listening to May

My heart beats softly

Everlasting tunes in soul

Pouch of bundled joy

 

I whirl on the Earth

My mind lost in the blue skies

Sketches of castles

 

Infinite passion

Within finite appearance

I am all though none
