Discovering My Soul's Purpose, "Breathe into me" a poem by C.J Diaz

i have been on a mission a mission I would like to call Discovering My Soul's Purpose. I think it's about time I start to share what it is I am writing. I am working on my very first poetry book. While I have been writing my whole life, since words could meet pen and pad, I am finally in a position where I feel like it is beyond time to share my words with the world.

My first book is dedicated entirely to my husband, who is currently incarcerated. We have been going through such a time, and while this separation has brought so much pain to us both it has sparked a light in me that caused this ripple effect in my life. The reason I decided it was time to share what talents I have with the world. The book is called "How Long is Forever?" I am editing along the way about 30 days from completing the writing process. After that, it will be up for copyright and editing from an outside source. Then ultimately will be published. I have been working diligently to get this thing done before he comes home. The best part about this whole book is it is uniquely a surprise for my husband. He has no clue it exists. He will be floored when he finds out it is dedicated entirely to him. This is going to be the best surprise I have ever pulled off in my lifetime. One of many that will come, because I love him so innately that I will continue to surprise him over our lifetime together with my inspired actions.

I hope you enjoy the first excerpt I am sharing on this blog, it will be one of many as the book train will never stop. It is my soul's purpose, it always has been. There is something truly special in Discovering My Soul's Purpose. You can see it in everything I ever write, it is the closest to god I will ever be. I put my heart into everything I write. I hope you enjoy it and you may find some kind of connection with this piece. I urge you to follow your passions and take inspired action toward doing that thing that lights your heart on fire each and every day. You will never regret the shots you took, only the ones you failed to take.

C.J-

Breathe into me

Breathe into me your essence,

Your beauty and your strength,

Feed into me the soul of your heart,

Your desire and your grace.

Breathe into me your consistent love

Your abundance and your truest intentions

Breathe into me the god within you

Wrap me up in your silent comfort

Sweet love's gentle embrace

Hold me up high in your mind

The third eye activates

Breathe into me your hopes

Your dreams are our intertwined fates

Breathe into me your anguish when you are pained

Breathe into me everything you are

Or everything you intend to be

I will breathe in deeply all that I see.

Breathe into me your views of the stars,

Of the universe and the world, you embrace.

Breathe into me, my love,

And I shall breathe in deeply all that you create.
