-- A Breath as the Breath --

John Herlihy

 

A breath as the breath,

Breath of air, breath of the breeze,

Enlivening and mutable,

Its tender voice speaks with ease.

 

A breath as the breath,

Breath of cells, breath of the body,

Invasive and infusing,

Bestowing its rare live-giving quality.

 

A breath as the breath,

Breath of lungs, breath of the breast,

Inflating and expansive,

As ocean waves reach their crest.

 

A breath as the breath,

Breath of feathers, breath of wings,

Held aloft, uplifted,

The questing mind in searching sings.

 

A breath as the breath,

Breath of blood, breath of the heart,

Throbbing and pulsating

A tidal flow to arrive and depart.

 

A breath as the breath,

Breath of soul, breath of the spirit,

In silence enriching, living,

Patient seeking leads to ultimate finding.

 

A breath as the breath

Breath of unity, breath of the One

Invisible and indivisible

From the mystery of life spun

ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY THE BREATH OF GOD. BY HIS BREATH ALL THINGS ARE SUSTAINED. HE IS THE...ONE AND ONLY...BREATH AS THE BREATH. THANK YOU MY FRIEND. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Such a grand personification here, allowing our imaginations to enjoin with yours in a 6-sense discovery of life's divergent expression of what it's like to breathe, and to embrace its many manifestations. What a wonderful drama of Nature you penned. Thank you.
