***The Breath of Spirit***

I use to pray when asking or wanting
was all I thought there was
when I used the energy of my being
as if kinetic magnetic waves
to bring me absolute truth

when now with years of searching
I find that closing my eyes
to breathe quietly within
the mist begins to clear as
though sun rays warm my spirit

the dew drops melt on blades of grass
to find me walking a deserted shore
where the ocean winds touch my hair
and the watery brine is lifted thus
to coat my skin with salty jewels

where words are not labels or script
but the beauty of butterflies laced
with birdsong and seeded with pearls
that transcend time and space
filling my soul with balm and peace

  2. Thank you for joining in and with such a lovely piece, Renee. Enjoyed much and read it more than once. It is the Truth – yes! with an uppercase “T.” When we stop asking and start listening the whole world changes and our words are more beautifully, more honestly spoken … not as labels but as essence. We should post this next week on The Poet by Day. ???? Let me know. Thanks! Happy weekend, Renee.
