Breath and Soul

A wedding sonnet I wrote for a friend.

 

I view the world through your eyes and it gives

sweet breath that feeds my soul to find and seek

that piece of you that’s wandered in and lives

inside my heart that once was void and weak.

How strange to think you’ve been here all along;

emotions once thought spent and atrophied,

with courage cold, and fear you might be wrong, 

you took a risk on me to fill that need.

And now I long to journey where you tread;

north, south, east or west as God would lead

with one heart, mind, and soul and strength I wed

and sweet abandon this my song and creed:

our union shall not fade and, like this rhyme,

our breath and soul shall bind us for all time.

kimmy, your lovely imagination never ceases to amaze me , your beautiful
poem has a perfect rhythm of meter that is transfixing, as your thoughts
capture treasured emotion, "breath and soul" when two hearts become
one, your passionate, well crafted words are leave the reader in a state
of blissful wonder, admirable quality, festive in its special quality, as the
meaning is uplifting, delightful, touching, gentle, subtle, sweet, a true heart song, mike
