When you Breathe Upon my World

the very act becomes my inspiration
for it tells me that you live,
your vitality still testifies of art,
of love complete with beauty of its own.
It sings of steadfast faith
that needs no rainbows, naught of
angel wings to carry messages of comfort
to the ones who languish in despair.

Already it is you who passes on the song.
It is you who rides with me
along the crest of every breath,
to music that will bear the sweetness
of it, when mortality cannot.
You it is, who is the song
that resonates within my heart.

Comparisons will have an end, for
When you breathe upon my world,
it must give way and I care not
which way it goes. You live.
Oh God!  It can never be the same
and I become the only one
empowered to see.

You have managed to top yourself, my dear.
I do believe this will be my most favorite writing of your's...

"It is you who rides with me
along the crest of every breath,
to music that will bear the sweetness
of it, when mortality cannot.
You it is, who is the song
that resonates within my heart."

This echoes my own "steadfast faith" to God,
"for it tells me that you live..."

What an empowering piece of poetry! I love it, Dean...truly!

I did ot realize, until I read Sophy Freebirds' review that this was a religious poem.It seems faih inspired, and yet I am not sure.

[Dean]

My only religion is art. Sophy has her own thoughts/

[Marie]

I was aware of your views before. That's why I wasn't sure it was a religious poem, though it seemed so.

[Dean]

I do believe in God, but not a god that aligns herself with the characterists that humans assign to her..or really, any characteristic at all! :-)

[Dean]

if they do, such people of faith begin to argue about who is right. Idiocy! :-)

"It sings of steadfast faith that needs no rainbow" what a beautiful and inspirational write.blessed are those who haven't seen the almighty yet believe in him.. he is the only one who loves us unconditionally.When world hates us ,he accepts us with our flaws.Beautiful line.We shouldn' t ask for rainbow as a promise but we should trust him with all our heart,mind and soul.Beautiful write :)
