The Breath of Om

Charcoal cloud clutches the marooned moon The sky stifles behind the dark shroud The nubile night breathes the music of breeze Rippling in the sound of silence. The ocean wreathes with surging surface waves The water at cold depth is fathomless serene Respires the breath of dense darkness Flowing in the sound of silence. The tapestry of life torn by torment Searches deep within for the lattice of quietude The smothered mind soaks the breath of solace Drifting in the sound of silence. The captivating cacophony of materialistic life Suffocates the consciousness of the absolute being The secluded soul is suffused with the breath of bliss Wafting in the sound of silence. In the endless journey of the insensate essence Across the seamless landscape of the ultimate reality As we be breathed, feel the breath of Om Vibrating in the sound of silence. (Om is the sound of sacred spiritual symbol in Hinduism, signifying the essence of the ultimate reality, consciousness, or Paramatman.
