Breathing

Behind the chatter within my mind.
I find a silent calm.
Slowly awaking in the refreshing birth of a new dawn.

Inside of which I'm bound and tied.
As I try to break free in order to see,
That my weakness I've perceived,
Solely belonged to me.

In a beautifully fading darkness lifting higher.
Sparks this desire.
In me the distant light rising in a ball of fire.

Melting the chains that bind and have harnessed.
I'm caressed by a voice I can only feel,
Releasing a strength and belief so real,
That our hearts will soon heal.

I've allowed myself to suffer far to long.
Be it right or be it wrong.
I open my tear filled eyes to where I belong.

Now free as the air in the new morning sky.
Guided by the light warming the flesh,
That contains my spirit risen and refreshed,
Within each brand new breath.

Free now willingly able to love and forgive.
The debt of a life time of wrongs I've lived.
I step foward to live as that from which I've hidden.

I hear the song only angels may sing while breathing.
Bringing me joy and happiness I know I can trust,
Found in my soul by which I was touched,
Never again to be lost in the approaching dusk.

Powerful and good words.
"Free now willingly able to love and forgive.
The debt of a life time of wrongs I've lived.
I step foward to live as that from which I've hidden."
Forgiveness is the key to life. Holding hate and disappointment will bury our life and dreams. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thank you for reading. This was a fun write for me and was not my normal way of just going off of the first line and trying to keep up the words I'm "dancing" with in my mind. I tried to take my time and give it more substance and structure. I'm happy with it this one. :)

You did very well and you are welcome.

At the close, it sounds like passing beyond the chords of life. There is an (S) missing in darkness, other than that the interlude into the inner sanctum comes off well, with an appropriate voicing to construct the ambiance.

I really like this piece as it is very heart telling. Also to move on in life forgiveness is needed , or you will constantly be living in the past. Very good, very good.
