The Incredible Lightness of Being

Folder: 
Existential

The incredible lightness of

Being

Alive

And feeling the breath from inside

Flow out

Flow in



The incredible lightness of

Floating

Flying

Seeing through the eyes of angels

Loving

Knowing



The incredible lightness of

Freedom

At peace

Existing in a world of light

Resting

Dreaming



The incredible lightness of

Knowledge

Wisdom

The rights to understand all things

To grow

With time



The incredible lightness of

Oneness

The soul

To stare at the wonders of God

In mind

And heart



The incredible lightness of

Laughter

Friendship

You and me together in life

Today

Always

This is such a lovely, well written poem. I like how your lines are light like your title and image of an angel or at that's why I was imagining. It gave a wonderful feeling and I can't thank you enough for it. God bless you and take care until we speak again.

The title reminds me of this movie of the same name, amy.
Smilesz... is that the same referral ?
This poem has a very calm and meditative quality to it...like a persona reflecting on the intrinsic matters of the world.

Ah yes, the incredible being of light is a beautiful thing and this seems to be a truly inspirational piece to the light within. And the lightness it does ease the journey. It is yet another great piece of work that demonstrates your penmanship (penpersonship?). Although I would not always call the gaining of certain knowledge a lightness.

Well done Amy,

Richard.Elliott.

The reocurring meaningfulness
of oneness and loving friendship
within the lines of this piece,
is inspiring and welcoming.

And of course,
the following line
is moving;

"To stare at the
wonders of God
In mind
And heart..."

I do cherish this piece indeed!
