Breath of Being

 

A new term for the idea of what is the act in breathing.

In breath, Out breath. 

In Heaven, Out Heaven. 

Inheaving, exheaving. 

Perspective is literal in term. 

Upon this foundation, I shall go to the Willamette River.

What a wonderful thought you brought. 

In this stream of the watering right, 

Bought by my turns in brooks of thought. 

Into the sea of the black in me,

The coloring in the soil for growing all things being. 

In breath, out breath, the action mine,

A rhythm of life, a star light sign.

In Heaven, out Heaven, the motion turns,

Perspective literal, as the essence returns.

To the Willamette River, I make my way,

Carried by streams where thoughts bold sway.

A wonderful idea, you’ve brought to light,

A stream of watering, flowing right.

Bought by brooks where thinking pays,

Turning to sea where the black seed plays.

The soil in me, thy fertile ground,

Coloring life in mind cycling abound.

Breath is to heart, the act, the spark,

A seed of creation, igniting the dark.

In breath, out breath, the sing be living,

In each exchange, my art being giving.
