I breathe you in...

I breathe you in,

my world expands

     making me  feel

whole again,

in this moment of time,

pain is soothed

  mysteries of life come alive

    beauty surrounds

my senses

even angst is a study

in survival

I hear symbiotic

 rhythm's rhyme

   & the dance is perfumed

in clarity

hushed whispers

of insanity's rush

  playing a sweet tempo

in staccato notes

lulling me on tranquility's 

crystal clear clouds

This to me could be about either someone very close to you like a lover or a dear friend, or it could be a reference to spirituality. Either way it is a very calming piece of work, letting us realize that while life twists and turns us around like a tornado, there is still comfort to be had, simply by breathing in the positive vibrations around us. Great song choice by the way, I feel like I haven't heard this one in way too long.

Thanks so much Ashira, I love your interpretation, you're a very astute poetess dear.

what an uplifting piece... reminds me of what I do to feel better... I tune out the world, turn on certain songs, and get lost in the words, the tempo, the rhythm, it carries me away, soothes, heals, and in that moment---everything is right... it is like you can breathe again... it isn't the end of the tunnel but it does give a moment's pause to take that breather, get your sanity back, and continue on that journey... what a perfect song to accompany...

It also reminds me of taking that moment, to stop what you are doing and just take everything in.. just enjoy the beauty of nature......It makes you happy for that brief moment, within that pause-everything makes sense... you are free...

ok.. I could keep going on and on about what it reminds me of.. but the point is.. you touched me.. and I really needed to read this one today.. I am saving this one for sure... it is absolutely beautiful as always...

[Frieda P]

Love the title! This is deliciously dripped in colour. Has a sensual feeling. Your style is easily absorbed!

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much for your visit and review Mary, glad you enjoyed!

Despite the deepest pain and angst we find moments of peaceful comfort by breathing in the essence of some thing or person. Theres truth in this poem..ive experienced it myself. Even in our darkness a small light can shine. x

[Frieda P]

Glad you felt this one Red, I'm pretty sure the air is Belize is sweeter, if you know what I mean? ;) xo

Feeling everything whilst inflated with bliss courtesy of they who inspire you to be so joyous as to feel as if you were soaring through the skies and dancing with the stars can be quite lovely and this piece does an excellent job of making that clear. Well done.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Tai, dancing with the stars would be exquisite....

So jazz'd, soothing was what I was hoping for grazie Sophie!

Oh my God, can I stay here forever? Can your page and writes be my safe haven as they always have? You realise that your writes speak to me more than anyone's and they literally are my safe haven. When I read you, it's like you wrap me in a mothers cocoon. :)

Anyway, off topic there for a mo, this was out of this world. I got a few different interpretations when I read it, considering I read if like 5 times... Absolutely adore this one.

Flip flops & all that jazz, mama F...xo

[Frieda P]

Of course, I just redid your room, want a cuppa? ;) xo

[s y e]

Oooooo, I'm coming!! New room AND a cuppa, damn right I do!xo

[Dhaye]

Simply to live for the things and people we love...we could breathe in with serenity.
I love what I have read tonight...all were inspiring. And I commend that this one is really applicable in love and life.
I love this one, Ms. F. Keep shining!

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your sweet words Dhaye!

I think I've been taken to romantic wonderland, Frieda. I am in awe, spellbound even, wow. This was something else, for sure -- different from your James Dean poem for sure! ;))

[Frieda P]

I felt you were breathing in the spirit of oneness that comes from knowing the true self, a gorgeous poem of exquisite verse that just drifts on a sea of love...................please excuse that I have not read read requests before now, I'm still finding my way round here and have not noticed them before, so sorry.

[Frieda P]
