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

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
