Breath out! Breath in!

When Love breathes its breath into you and you begin to emit light rays, you realize that a lightbulb isn't the only thing that glows.

Breath out! Breath in!🌬

Love leaped from rocks on high sea cliffs,
romping in the winds that pierce the mists,
stretching out wings ‘cross sun plush lands
to ride on the breaths inhaled by man

and search those souls for hearts of stone
to infuse joy into flesh and bone
and hear their sighs make songs sing
with breath pushed out by Love’s spread wings.

What blast of sound can summon Love
What beckon of voice will do.
What ring of the phone can hearken it
to the heartache that reigns in you.

Such crossroad of wonder in the lives of men
has starts, beginnings, hopes and ends.
It’s a tasty, succulent slice of life
that all of us covet and lucky ones bite.

We hunger for its pulse and starve ‘til it comes,
feeding on its impact with a glorious hum,
crying when it’s over dripping tears so frail,
thinking we’ll never breathe, love again or inhale.

But Love still leaps from high sea cliffs,
with a romp in the wind and a pierce of the mists,
yet hears that heartache’s voice so thin
that it spreads its wings on the next breath in.

ApDunamis - There's hope for all of us and it usually comes when we least expect it from somewhere out of left field. Fate! You gotta love it and its uncanny ability to hit you at the right time and in the right place and leave you breathless, stumbling and fumbling. And you couldn't be happier that the package was Love and the UPS driver was Fate and all you had to do for delivery was sign on the dotted line. Whew! Just wanted to write a little bit about that. Your injected words have eased the rattling of these old bones and I will be back in two weeks for the booster shots. You got me smiling a 'lot' today Ap. Thanks. Namyh
P.S. - Add two more 'lots' above.

Dave - They say if you look for Love, you won’t see it. If you listen for Love, you won’t hear it. And if you reach for Love, you won’t ever touch it, almost as if it jumped off a cliff or had been blown by the wind. Hey! That sounds like my paycheck. Love is indeed a multifaceted house. I hope this was a poetic peek through one of its windows for you. Thanks Dave for spending a spell. Namyh
