The Breath of Life Eternal
- The Breath of Life Eternal -
I hath two arms to hold thee, and much love to give,
My spirit is irrepressible, and I hath a zest to live!
Let me share with thee the breath that is within my breast,
A kiss can convey more than any words might attest.
How to put in words what a kiss from me can bring?
Only as a poetess can I attempt to convey such a thing.
I was sent forth from the Divine,
I have come forth from the Power.
I have come to those who hath reflected upon my sign,
I am found amongst those who have sought me in my hour.
Look upon my face, ye who reflect upon me,
Ye, who would fear the truth, listen to my word.
Look into mine eyes, the very depths of the sea,
Look and listen, being glad that ye hath heard.
Ye, who await my coming, take my teachings,
Take them to thy heart; take them to thyself.
Ye, who wait upon fulfillment of preaching,
I am the living book not found on any shelf.
Do not be rash and banish me from thy sight,
Lest ye dwell in the darkness, devoid of my light!
Make not thy voice to hate me, nor thy hearing,
For hate is the product of blindness and fearing.
Be thou not ignorant of me, in any place or time,
Be on thy guard, lest thou commit such a crime.
Be on guard, for many are the pleasant-seeming forms,
The illusions: which clothe and cloak so many sins.
Be on guard, for many are the clouds that hide the storms,
Against the might of which, mere flesh never wins.
In fleshly shells, we walk amidst inconstant change,
Afraid to embrace our passions and pleasures!
So far from Paradise, do we so often foolishly range,
When we cast aside all our heavenly treasures.
Is it better to love life, and fall: before death…
Without striving to seek a life of eternal bliss?
It is better to strive toward the celestial breath,
Of: the Primordial Mother’s blessed kiss.
Verily, man doth embrace drunkenness on the wine of flesh,
Until the hour cometh, when man awakens, sober.
Reborn, art thou then, into a rapture new and fresh,
In the moment when thou hast come to know Her!
When thou hast beheld Her most glorious face,
In that hour, thou art reborn in Her glory anew.
Her arms shall be our final resting place,
And to her love, we must all remain true.
Thou wilt find me there, at Her right hand,
Where to live, is life without end.
In the pure and perfect undying land,
Where their prayers, the righteous do send.
Look thou to my words, ye blessed souls,
And to the writings: which I hath rendered complete.
The bell of Paradise, for thee it tolls,
Its’ music echoing clearly and sweet!
Give heed, ye who wouldst hear,
And ye angels, who hath been sent from the Thunder!
Banish from thy hearts all fear,
For in fear, all balance is rent asunder.
If thou wouldst escape the tyranny of death,
Give heed to my words as a trusted friend…
The truth of the Goddess is in my very breath,
And those who draw near it shall not die again.
I hath two arms to hold thee, and much love to give,
My spirit is irrepressible, and I hath a zest to live!
Let me share with thee the breath that is within my breast,
A kiss can convey more than any words might attest.
