Breathlessness

Soul-moving, heart-touching fabrics
of a canvas-like existence
forming vacuum bubbles of Absoluteness.

Breathless

Life resurrected into quantum pieces
Taking breaths; raining Selflessness
Shocking to awareness,
forming to Feel.

Forming to Live

Breathing to understand;
being breathless to allow self
to live a life
IN Understanding

of a painted, and cried out, 
Purpose.

Alleviate "Me".
Watch it unfold
In Breathlessness
of its vast structure
through the Realization

..that there is none..

"Breathing to understand; being breathless to allow self to live a life IN Understanding" I was there once, and need to find my way back. A lot of ambiguity in that ending

I agree that I left it to be interpreted in more ways than one, with the intention to show the very lesson of Breathlessness, as I found it [smiles]. You're the first to have picked this up and I humbly appreciate that from you. Thank you so much!
