I Live Zealously Breathless

"Being alone with Spirit lifts souls with gifts of joy for hearts and light for eyes." Poet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whether I am embracing joy or buried in strife, Your presence has been clear to me all of my life. Through all years, I have sought to feel You even more so truth continuously cements firmer within my core. Your closeness - my awareness ~ I live zealously breathless Whenever I need and seek precious time alone with You, I close my eyes so all of the world leaves my view. Focusing on a tiny white spot grows an ethereal light. I see and feel vibrations pulsed exquisitely bright. Your closeness - my awareness ~ I live zealously breathless Within my chest palpitates a genuine, stupendous high unlike any intoxication to be felt on earth's side of sky. It is no longer air that I breathe, but Your glory I inhale. You lovingly wrap me serene in glimpses of divine detail. Your closeness - my awareness ~ I live zealously breathless

If I had been 'fishing' in my comment to you yesterday, I would have been blessed by hooking a fish of generous, fulfilling and validating portions. My muse and I are sated with gratitude from the gifts your words have given us. Another blessing is the feeling of sincerity in my 'fishes' colors. Thank you for all the above. Crossing paths seems not to have been an accident. Hugs ... CayCay

This is so beautiful. I envy you because this is an experience not familar to me. My mom was this way too. I think I was not born with a very spiritual nature and it saddens me. I believe in God and want to feel that passion that others feel. I think that is why I want a near death experience, just so I can know the beauty of God's light.

Oh, you did, you really, really did, I checked, you said and remembered, then you did it! I am jumping up and down while typing (can you imagine?) Mentally, I am while my poetry-self inhales a breath of validation. I thank you. You really, really did! CayCay

I had very little to do with composing this, it bubbled up from deep within while I was contemplating what to do for the 'Breathless' contest. Other than grabbing pen and paper and pondering words that I liked paired with breathless for the repeated line, my muse or 'other' wrote it. With 6 words you completed the joy and delight I have for the write. Love ... CayCay
