In Breath and Love

(August 1 2008)

I have breathed within thee a breath of My own spirit that thou mayest be My lover. Why hast thou forsaken me and sought a beloved other than Me? -Bahá'u'lláh



In the firmament of pre-existence
There was Him and there was love
In love was truth and in truth was He
And He, in love, breathed life in me.

In me was life, the life which He,
Spurred on by love, gave unto me.
A breath He breathed, spoke "it shall be"
And so it was, as now you see.

He was, He is, He'll always be.
I am, we are, eternally.
By breath and love,
He's bound to me,
And I to Him,
So happily

In breath and love—
He is, I am,
We'll always be.
