And he runs through my veins
in rhythmic measures of my world
breaking into subtle waves of leaves and flowers
that pass a scent of belonging ~
in the ocean-cradle of my very being
where all of life unfolds
through my cathedral within ~
and he is me...
Author notes
"There is only One,
and there is nothing outside Him.
He is. He is and He is not;
and neither is He, nor is He not.
He is with form - all forms are His form,
all names are His name -
He is without form,
and He is beyond form and no-form."

How very beautiful. Flowed very nicely! A nice spiritul piece to start my day. Good luck in the contest!

a lovely take on the prompt as always . . liked "in rhythmic measures of my world" and "and he is me" . . good luck in the contest . .

I like this very much, how a devotee perceives divinity, very personally in the experiences of life. This is very good poetic expression. Good luck!
-
I love that this begins with 'and'--like a thought incomplete that continued before that we can't read.
"ocean-cradle"
Adore this hyphenated phrase...it's unique, full of imagery, and it just works with this serene piece.
