It
came sudden and actually knocked the wind out of me…
I held my breath waiting for this moment
to disappear, but it didn’t.
Instead, it roared through my body, and till I found my
breath; my breath to surrender, to my consciousness, to my true living. I didn’t
know that through my loss, I would be found.
The coming of my breath.
the
coming of my breath,
broke
me open-
I
was numb,
to
my living-
looking
at life,
stained
with pain-
absorbed
in anger,
it
brought me,
to
my-
turning
point,
oh
to breathe,
it
all in-
it
all out,
it
came,
as
my opening-
breath
of living,
breath
of consciousness,
breath
of surrender,
I
who was,
at
the precipice-
of
losing,
of
gaining-
all
at once.
it
all falls,
away
from me-
in
my breath,
brings
me to-
the
realm,
of
my being-
heart,
touching-
spirit,
turning
to see-
the
real me.

Maureen Kwiat Meshenberg: About 3 years ago, I was awakened from my slumber, though it was a devastating breaking point in my life, I was reunited to a true relationship with my spiritual self and my gift through poetry. It is my intention to reach others by sharing my story through poetry and touching theirs. I am the Page owner of Heart’s Calling .I am also the Visionary Poet for the Facebook Magazine "Women as Visionaries with Lore Raymond" here. I recite spoken word at different venues and also host a monthly Creative Writing Circle using the space for women to bring out their inner release through written word. I am currently working on publishing a book of my poetry. I can be contacted through my Heart’s Calling Facebook page here.
~If you are interested in seeing your poetry appear in this blog, or submitting a poem by a woman that has inspired you, please click here for submission guidelines. I greatly look forward to hearing from you!~
