Notes About The Poem
Otto Sotto's Best 2026 Poem Contest...posted May 2026

In Breaths Of Stillness

 My breath rises beyond 
   a  trail of sacred space...gliding ,
     deepened by silence immense
 where  peak of light anoints
  my  soul union with divine rhythm-- 
      the grail of non- resistance widening
               Beyond a path illimitable,
    a haloed center drifting on
 meditative realm unmapped by this world:

       I am at risk of a swarming flight 
          into nothingness 
                shapeless, 
   changeless:   there is no finality 
  in this final release... only a blaze of discernment greeting the god within...

    that in the absence of mind's overtures ,
an inner sanctuary wraps me quiet...
   that void emptying. cleansing 
       my marrow , my bowel of gut 
while I become nothing but whole.
