Breathgiving, not Breathtaking

Skit 1981 (NYC)

November 22 
Ode
Breathgiving not Breathtaking

The love for-given sustains my capacity
To live another moment,
To experience another day
And connect with more, more, and more.
It does not taketh, it only giveth.
My sight for enrichment tells me that,
and the ever-increasing wholesomeness
Photographed by my vision of heart.
It is said to heal takes two, or even more...
Is it the intention?
Or is it the air upon our lips
Cascading voluminous auric flow.

About this poem

I am an artist, as well as a poet. My creativity is greatly inspired by my experiences in therapies and personal growth. To affirm a positive attitude is my intention in all my art. I art art.
