RE: "Where You Breathe" - the full poem 💎
That's very beautiful. I love poetry and I read it very slowly, letting it sink in.
The way you have written this has a percolating quality. I was very curious about every word and comfortable with not understanding. I felt an acceleration at now they rise up, a climax at release the whorls of mystery, and a meaning dropped in (as it may have for you today) with the last two lines. The meaning is very personal, and may differ for every reader. For me, it's about one finding ones own truth, which we can do simply because we can breathe. Very nice
Yes! That is such a beautiful response, @owasco, and that is exactly what I hoped readers would find when they read it: a sense of their own deep knowing and truth, which so often lies beyond intellectual understanding. ❤
