The Soul, The Flesh and a Dream

This writing was inspired by Rosa Cabos’ Sweet Plumpy’s Dreaming

How souls are come to human flesh
through dreams bourne on heaven’s breath
when first gasped that sweet breath in
the two are become one and life begins.
To the eyes when first unsealed
a multiverse of possibilities is revealed
And the hands their tiny fingers stretched out to reach
to touch and hold beyond what they can see
Roads to be traveled, lessons to be learned
love and heartbreak, around every turn
bridges of joy and sorrow to be crossed and then burned.
And when the soul, the flesh and the mind
their journey of discovery complete,
come full circle, a richer soul is then released.

    Sticked to mymind..
    sticked tomy heart…
    that moment of encounters,
    soul to soul….
    speaking different tongues…
    and talking the same language.
    I know… what is that…
    how it was there…made flesh the souls
    that dreamnt in colours without objects to be seen.
    And the Soul circling when finds that burning desires,
    are part of the time passing…in waves of heating doubts.
    I love the breathing Heavens…
    that has met my loving ones…
    with my soul…perfeclty tamed,
    but inside… wild and rush.
    Rosa (so beautiful….I have dared to follow the inspiration that your words have caused in me. I know what these are meaning.. And I thank you for, they may return to my acknowledging some of the experiences of reality of Life, sometimes hidden behind the scenarios of Time. A hug for you, Roy)

    My dearest Rosa, I must confess that you and I having been experiencing true ekphrasis moments. My chord of inspiration was struck once I saw your “Sweet Plumpy’s Dreaming.” Kudos to you for that inspiration and thank your for your oh so beautiful words.
