Breathed Poems | Examples

Premium MemberHow are we being breathed

Reflect awhile, think
How is breath being renewed
Who enjoys the cappuccino we drink

Fears that arise are in time subdued
Our attitude undergoes a change
Love and light are imbued

Feeling magnetism strange
It’s clear we are not body-mind
Awareness expands cognitive range

Eye becomes mindful and touch kind
Thoughts mostly remain at rest
Concepts are left behind

In the cave of heart, God does nest
His heartbeat resounds in our chest

I Once Breathed

Paul the Apostle said "I once breathed apart from the law's voice
I lived in the clay of a singing bird or a roaring tamed beast
I lived as a breath outside of the lion's roaring voice"



Inspired by a quote from Basilides: "Indeed, the Apostle (Paul) has said, "I was once alive apart from the law," [Rom 7:9] at some time or other. That is (Paul means), before I came into this body, I lived in the kind of body that is not subject to the law: the body of a domestic animal or a bird."

both those who seem to be cursed
as also those appearing blessed
determine attributes bestowed
solely based on the material
ignoring impulse ethereal 
wherefrom is manifest
dance of polarities 
as life enacted
felt by touch
by our soul

One night from deep sleep I awoke,
stirred by a light that gently spoke,
oozing love, seeking my consent,
for my soul’s heavenward ascent.

No sooner I nodded my head,
into the vast void, I was led
sans form, for I had vaporised,
truth of oneness clearly apprised,
feeling God’s breath in-dwell each form,
felt within as magnetism warm.

My formless presence, one with God,
gripped by bliss mists stood overawed
in this knowing transcending mind,
free at last from fetters that bind.

This is the wisdom I can share,
with pure hearts who so choose to pair.

As we be breathed

Surfing the divide between heart and mind 
We celebrate the dance of illusion
Having vaporised, free from ego’s bind
Holy Spirit dispels soul’s confusion

Duality manifests through space-time
The universe appears and disappears 
We cognise in heart, the cosmic Ohm chime
As benign bliss beats, each node of form spears

What are we but a splash in the ocean
Moment to moment, being by God breathed 
Partaking of the divine bliss potion
Delighting as light of soul is retrieved 

Playing our life role, in as is ordained ~
We burn in the void, that cannot be stained

Benedictions of divine grace
Are enabled in timeless time
When desires cease, no goals to chase
We imbibe, pheromones sublime 

Enlivened by bliss beats sublime
Love pursues love, in joyous chase
Vaporised presence transcends time 
Ensconced in rapture, by His grace

Premium MemberAs We Be Gently Breathed

Embracing this-ness, entwined with oneness,
heart’s vibrant in blissfulness!

Knowing we are but dust, forged from earth’s crust,
alive owing to God’s breath,
to what shall we then cling?

This world we’re in, a lucid dream,
with life play but our heart’s desire,
hypnotic trance where thought forms stream,
on and on, till the day we tire.

we as the object
God consciousness as subject ~
merge to so awake

Lower nodes dormant,
no dark sediment;
to complete the grid,
they now do as bid.

Choice of love or lust,
matters not to dust,
alive by God’s breath,
love it’s sole soul wealth.

Here now, bliss replete,
earth learning’s complete;
sparking innocence,
soul’s luminescence.

Premium MemberGod Breathed Light

Praying – with complete abandonment
Knowing – the light that inspires me
Feeling – grace penetrating and real
Owning – the love that lingers within

Praying to the One who knows me best
Knowing He will love me through the quest
Feeling like His love is alive and I can attest
Owning all the wonder and grace He expressed

Through night and day, bliss burns our skin
Source of the flame, lies deep within
From inside out, consumed alive 
Transfiguration thus herein

From within this vibrant bliss hive
We feel each throb as heart’s life drive
Inert cells glow, touched by God’s breath
Birthed then thus cause how soul does thrive

AS WE BE BREATHED
    
    As we be breathed, life to start
         and on Death, subject to depart.
        Beautiful Life is an enjoyable game.
             Have sporty spirit not going for fame.

       Life in sequence of discrete events.
      with sorrowful and lovable moments.
      ‘Truth-Honesty, Love-Labor!’ Connect Four.
      ‘All the hindrances are sure to ignore.
     
       Trouble at every step, also there is risk.
       Password in soul, thoughts at hard disc.
        Life plays a mysterious role.
        Is there any identity of soul?     
       
       Life is a dream drinking desires at breath
       to expire on transcending death. 
       Yet I believe in reincarnation
      ‘Life-Death Cycle’ is Nature’s creation.

AS WE BREATHED
As we breathed we tasted the air
Of places in our minds we share,
In the hedges of Tipperary
Where the tiny sparrows sing
With range of voice
That calls out longer
Than its tiny wing
The Hawthorn berry catches it here
And allows its notes to stroke its sphere
The wind lifts it over Beech green and thick
Over hill and dale
Through bough and brick
And the song is heard by the tiny fly
Who acknowledged all natural beings nearby.
And as we breathed we tasted the air
Of loving hearts that we did share
And it is here that the place of Soul is found
In the air and on the ground
Where it wandered in the longing-loam
For this is the choice
And the Soul is home.

As We Be Breathed

as we be breathed we fix position 
sturdy, strong with intuition
balancing nature and mind
bringing forth from behind...
levelling to refined
perfection from reflection still
to climb again the very hill
where we’d been breathed once before
to travel on the journey more
with fire burning in our core.

The air we breathe is us being so breathed
Gods life force within, that never wavers
An innate vibrancy, leaving soul pleased
Hark hearts love murmur, in gentle whisper 

Surrendered to soft divine entwined kiss 
As love in love with love, slowly draws nigh
We gasp in wonderment, suffused in bliss
Our childlike presence, let’s out a long sigh

Each desire, that we utter, as prayer
Marked by purity of loving intent
Unveils delusion, layer by layer
Revealing our core, self-luminescent 

Shaped upon the anvil by our free will
Elixir divine, all voids within fills

Premium MemberAs We Be Breathed

As we be breathed and our heart is beating
We feel within, bliss throb scintillating 
Soft touch of love, if it’s clues we do heed
We be to become, a higher soul breed
Conduit of love, soothing and placating

Our ready embrace, cooperating
Distanced from erstwhile ego competing
Love in love with love, off love so does feed
As we be breathed

Exit hermit, mind body limiting
Choosing vibrant pathways elevating
Inner alignment in thought, word and deed
Negating the ego, love is our steed
In a continuum, meditating
As we be breathed
