The Great Divide:
How I Stretch
Exhale
Inhale
My Breath moves the Veil; it quivers.
Exhale
Inhale
Darkness turns slowly illumined.
Exhale
Inhale
Mind trips through heavy obstacles.
Exhale
Inhale
Intent erupts all illusions.
Breath beats its focus.
Breath dies as Prana* Grows!
The veil now lifts, as my arms to the Heavens!
Oh, Keep Hold Mother Earth for I Am!
I am That
THAT which has no limited limbs to move,
THAT which has no black, and
THAT which only Love Exudes!
Breath beats its focus.
And I am Home.
I AM.
Exhale
Inhale
Exhale
Inhale
(Not so much Veil)
*Prana: Life Energy Force, Chi, Ki
**Note: Option for reading, instead of actually saying “Exhale, Inhale”…these words could become an audible breath.
