A Souls Breathing Way

A Soul’s Breathing Way Alleluia —my soul reaches — while Presently My body keeps still — only in the motion Of breathing — Unable to walk — I lie here Riding time — through visions over land and seas Wild — Without maps or measures — as Before humanity determined Moons or integers — Alleluia — my soul discerns Serenely The musical turning of light Lulling me along To unset shores — This ride to physical recovery — Waiting —- wafting — Will bear neither boredom nor impatience — While wending Ever gently On breathing’s rythm — Alleluia — my soul gladdens In songs of surrounding angels — And is ever conscious — To stay always praising — Yahweh — Three in One Blessing — promises of Breath and healing I hold — Alleluia —- my soul longs to sing With a faith known Prior to its birth or Eden ————————————————————————————- (c) sally young eslinger 6/11/22 Glory to God….

Sally, wonderful poem, you described what healing feels like, I went through a time when I was also bedridden, and I understand your words totally, one day this will be behind you, be strong in your mind as your body is healing, not sure if you are religious but praying really helped me, talking to God, reading the Bible, blessings ~Constance

Constance Faith is the entirety of our ongoing life here in this house! I have tried to keep my days in a “prayer without ceasing,” which I thought was reflected in most all my work. This poem tries to tell that even while I may struggle,my soul keeps on. VERYthankful 4 your prayersXO
