My Heart Says Hello

Forever Flame

By Simara AskewPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

How are you everything I ever wanted in a single breath?

I never knew there could be so much energy to an inhale...

...and exhale.

What I'm witnessing is beyond a simple breath cycle,

It's love.

The very act of positioning your mouth to draw in more life,

Only to let it slip away from your lips again, just as effortlessly.

I never knew love was in the air until I saw you breathe.

Now I get it.

It's something different about your particular respiratory rhythm.

Something I can't quite explain, but am fortunate enough to experience.

It goes deeper than the neverending depths of the fifth dimension

and beyond -

I feel it through the fragile lens of my own humanness,

At the core of my being and also somehow beyond.

I feel you here -

In my heart chakra,

Taking up a surplus amount of space in every inch of every corner,

Still leaving just enough room for me to feel myself just as closely.

It's roomy here.

Spacious even,

Dare I say carrying the aura of Divinity.

This love I feel radiating at the volume of a whisper,

precisely loud enough to create a vibration.

Penetrating every cell,

every fiber

every bone

every tissue

every muscle

every vessel

everywhere that anywhere can be,

and all in a matter of milliseconds.

A space in my heart once vacant now carrying a light within,

An eternal glow -

A forever flame.

If only I knew your name.
