“My Soul Longs to Live and Breathe Poetry”
My soul longs to live and breathe poetry
To write from the depths of my inner being
Freeing myself from society’s woes
Celebrating the artistic part of me often unknown
To write is like creating a masterpiece of art
A beautiful sculpture of my own making
Words on the page finding their own space on the page before me
Befitting surprise and delight from me
Breathing life into words
Becomes me as I dance with joy in my soul
Poetry quiets my busy human mind
Creating a space for harmony to reside in its place
A poet am I
Dancing with words in the twilight and at dawn
Bringing new meaning to my life
As I become transformed by words of grace and known to myself once more
My heart enchanted and at one with this interchange of words
From the universe brought to my mind
As my fingers do their own ballet and type happily
With almost a mind of their own – so it seems to be to me
I am never alone with my poetry as it comforts who I am inside
And awakens my higher self to clarity and more vision
Like a treasure found in the depths of an ocean
I find out who I am and my life’s purpose is deepened and elevated
I rejoice with the rhythm of poetic prose
As it strikes no distance between your heart and mine
Bringing us closer to the spiritual doorway
And who we really are in the heavenly domain
Passion unfolded, friends with this discovery; this writing craft
Merging harmoniously is my hope
Within the hearts and minds of others
As they read my poetry
In sync with this Oneness between us made manifest
Poetry and prose complete who I am
Bringing the best parts of myself forth
And repairing the hurt places within my life’s journey
A new sunset, a new sunrise
A new and precious opportunity to write once more
As I delight and find favor in this relationship
Between me and my musical prose
Noticing I am transformed as my soul rejoices
Realizing my inner being is drawing from the well of the divine
Awareness and great meaning are the gifts
Brought to me in living and breathing poetry

Please excuse my reply as I am not a Poet. However I felt compelled to comment on this. What I got out of this is while we are all quilty these days and in these times of being so busy we forget to take a timeout for the things we love and most dearest to our souls life passes us by feeling a bit of emptiness. With the inspiration I received from this poem I applaud this poet for reminding me to take that timeout and go to that happy place to do that one thing to sooth my heart & soul. Thank you Denise Thorpe
