  Breath Unplugged

When a spirit is set free
across the chasm there is a breeze
that nibbles ripples into the lake
even when breath is unplugged

it holds a minute
to navigate the loss
and plant a pulse
so quick that robins in cocking head
turn in sweet bewilderment

Listen to the dreams that come
when you are open to dimension
and time spreads itself

and you will know that love
has no boundaries
and that it understands forgiving
before your tear has
left its small circumference on the pillow

-----
a repost and important...forgiving!

Forgiveness has a freeing for both. It brings that chasm to a nearness, rather than spanning such a divide between. No one likes distance if they care. Thanks for sharing this. It was beautiful, and full of

==================

as always your words are stunning...
thank you for this timely repost sweets...
some seem to want the controversary and to be right more than they want the peace and forgiveness they are demanding from others.
Everyone loses when being right is more important than compromise.

Aye, lass....that is so true.

I see this is the third time you've posted this one -- and I'm glad you did, because otherwise I might have missed it...though it must mean there's much forgiving to be done in this world....

(big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, dearest friend, I am an utmost believer in forgiveness now, ever since I turned to God, because though I was hurt deeply by the words and punches boys threw at me in elementary school and the losses of the few friends I've had, I forgive the boys because they taught me how to be a better and more compassionate person and understand and feel for the pain of others, and I forgive the Lord because I believe He has a plan and He now holds my friends with dear heart in heaven and they'll forever be free of hurt and they'll also be guiding me with their love! (wipes tears) I still cry very easily, but the big difference now is that I cry with hope and joy, tears I never had as a young boy! You are a true angel, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Good Sis,

I just wish the powers that be read a little
more poetry... Maybe they'd see the heart
of all races.
