At the End of Every Breath

reflecting on meditations

can i take your attention 

if only for one moment

can I ask you 

just to breathe 

within your breath 

follow it through 

be it

feel it 

see it 

notice - 

if you will 

the stop

the gap 

the break 

at the end of every breath

at the end of every breath

see what it contains 

nothing at all 

and yet

it contains the 

very reality 

in which we all reside

connecting

the I

the you 

the me 

right through

to 

the all 

the nought 

the all that’s sought 

right there  

the space

at the end of every breath 

there lay

no illusion 

no deception 

no confusion 

containing all 

containing nothing 

a continuance 

of being 

void of distraction

next time

you seek me 

please come

find me there 

at the end of every breath

This gives me the introspection of one meditating atop a mountain top, breath, hold, exhale . . . allow the negative energy to flow outward; I’m ignorant in such matters of meditation, or modern yoga (fun to watch but ouch), but through readings, I can understand its fluid motion from psychical to psychological. I do wonder, being the second poem I’ve read, why the lack of caps, punctuation? I’ve seen many writers do this in poetry, and it’s always baffled me, because ‘with’ you can express so much more.

that is a good observation and something for me to think about - I am currently reading a book with gives me inspiration to write about topics such as this - i guess with the general feel of this I want it to just 'flow' you know - just like life through eternity - also I am gonna go with artistic preference in this one ...

thanks again for reading Mr Wolfe xx

I love how you have been able to capture the physical sensations that one experiences through meditation. If it could contain the spiritual, I'd have been in total awe of you. Meditation is a practice that can release the suppressed from within. I love the imagery of 'at the end of every breath'.

" next time
you seek me

please come

Thank you for sharing. I absolutely adore this.

That's rejenuating! Every breath encompasses all that is between everything and nothing. The mystery, secret... all.
containing all

Brilliant! This has so much veracity behind it. Wow.
Loved it..

[Young&Reckless]

I really like the use of the title as the refrain and how the pauses that meditation brings comes at the end of a breath. Very nice image!

Thanks for reading Slammer 😄

The mix in here of romamticism and idealisms is something to behold. One could easily be sueded by intellectualism and question some of the intentionality behind the lines but that will only serve as to freeze the moment with unnecassary ignorance. So whats left? The musicality which carries the meaning through haroney melody and rhythm. Why not questioned it then? Becuase it would ruin the music! Of course so listen, listen carefully, silently and attentively and when you have dug deep within the mistery which is in you I might be right there , see? we are all seeking!

When I get there and that's a big if I hope to see you there we will shake hands.

Thankyou

[KWP]

Hey thanks Rene - yes of course I agree we are all seekers in some way shape or form ... And when we get there I don't think we shall need to shake hands as we shall already be back to the place where we share a single heartbeat xx

[Lookwithinsight]

OMG OMG OMG OMG. This is beautiful. I love the flow. It's different, and I like that. Beautiful words, and very thought provoking.

[KWP]

Hey, are you trying to trick me into meditation!!??
This is well laid out, and beautifully expressed, opening up some lines of thought, contemplation, for the reader.
Nice work.
