Silence Between Breaths
–Stephen Levine |
 There is a silence between breaths
when the heart becomes a sacred flame
and the belly uncoils which reminds me
how remarkable it is to wake
beside you another day.
Between deaths we dreamed together
between breaths, in that stillness,
which has joined us ever since.
In that first breath
we step onto the dance floor,
and waltz unnoticed through the void.
The sacred everywhere we turn
and turn again, as form so generously dissolves
and only the Beloved remains.
In this moment which lasts a lifetime
there is nowhere to stand
where you are not beside me
where you do not accompany me within. |
