It took me there. Imagination at a distance from experience, complicates how closely, still it allows us to reason. Certainly though, a Beautiful form manifesting a presence within the mind of the reader, my mind.

I read this a few Times, more than a few, the Audio flows so well, it's one of those poems, that almost needs to be heard allowed, read from the Writer.

I’m grateful for your words. There is a special heart space created between reading and listening, between feeling and imaginning, that often bridges that distance. I’m deeply honored by your presence 🤍 Thank you for your beautiful sharing.

I can almost smell the lavender and feel the 'thrumming' in these lines. There is a gorgeous, tactile energy here. It’s a wonderful reminder of how sacred it is simply to inhabit our own skin ✨

Thank you so much, Brandi. That means a lot. I appreciate you feeling into the poem so fully.

As we breathe, we become.

Lavender stalks hum against the pulse,

our skin surrendering to flow,

pleasure weaving from magic,

edges of infinity held within the sacred.

And in that gathering,

we are both the city and the moon,

both body and echo.

I love the way this is written and re-written with different pauses and uses of breath. Like sinking into a silk bed. Wonderful <3

This felt very fluid and alive to me, almost like a quiet incantation.

I loved the way it moved and reshaped itself.

Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you, Christine. That is a wonderful description of the poem. I’m very glad it connected with you.

This poems gives the perspective of breathing while reading it. It's quite awakening, tender and rhythmic. "As we breathe we become" is one of the simplest yet sharpest points. As we breathe we become, as we breathe, therefore, we bloom internally <3

Ana Cristina Caelen's avatar

Oh, thank you, Scarlett. That’s lovely and profound. I appreciate you spending time with the poem and breathing with it.

Wow this is lovely. The musicality and rhythm is felt very viscerally. I love when poetry and song seem to blend at the seems.

Ana Cristina Caelen's avatar

Such a beautiful thing to hear, thank you, Sara. I love how you described your experience. I’m with you, poetry and song often braid together for me as well.
