Breath of Life
January 31st, 2012 § 26 Comments
A door opens
(or, does it close)
Curtains sway upon an
ice-cold breeze
teasing thoughts to
see-through lace
lightening flashes and
thunder crashes
or, was that heart’s
beating out of time.
Love has its own vibration
the deeper we fall the
higher we go
its flames reflect upon
the living stream
with tears and sighs to
heal its hurts
and hold us close
in its sea
without the drowning.
A tender kiss to forehead
smiling eyes
re-light the dying embers
and lines without hope
suddenly surprise us
with a new
breath of life.

Beautiful words! Love is indeed the breath of life.
Inspiring words to capture one’s heart.
Beautiful. I only wish I could write poetry as well.
Really nice piece, love the feel, each stanza is very strong. Thanks
Beautiful, just beautiful!
That second stanza is just gorgeous!
What a beautiful poem of love this is!
Lovely poem…
My favorite lines:
“Love has its own vibration
the deeper we fall the
higher we go”
Life is beautiful, regardless … it’s all good … you know, the pic and poem reminds me of John Lennon’s “Imagine” video … remember, when Yoko is opening the window coverings one by one, and the roo gets brighter and brighter … in the end she goes over and quietly sits at the piano with John … so moving. Thanks, Bren. Love, cat.
this was so lovely and tender. thank you.
Bren, I love the reference of thunder being the beating heart. Beautiful poem.

A new breath of life… I love that.
I deeply appreciate the hopeful tone, I needed to hear it. It struck me that I try to control outcomes when I need to simply be open. Thank you.
It’s amazing how love easily revives oneself when things feel like it’s getting tough. Beautiful poem.
You are a true word weaver…this is no exception to the standard you’ve set here. Fantastic!
A breathe of life sure doesn’t cause strife, as it keeping the cat going, just as the cat keeps you coffee flowing..haha
I love the restorative tone of this poem – beautiful.
that middle stanza bren is truly fascinating…love has its own vibration…how true…and the last stanza brings us to a tender close…
I like “the deeper we fall, the higher we go”
Love this, Bren. A breath of life….
oh yes, beautiful…love always breathes new life…I’d forgotten how it felt. It feels like this…
i like how the thunder is compared to the heart
I really like the positive ending and the beautiful description… I guess I could simply say I like this one! *smile*
I like that new breath of life…
