Mantra

[ampoule]

Mantra

Through all the poses
Mountain to Lotus
Child's pose to Cobra
I breathe in the cleansing breath of you
And I slowly exhale your name upon my lips

The candle flickers

And in the recesses of my mind
A gentle gong sounds

in the distance

Silently into silence I go
I fold myself up
I do not move
My breath is slow............and deep
I have no thoughts of the past or the future

Silently I speak your name
over
and over
and over again

Namaste
The divine in me blesses the divine in you

a lovely poem, Ampoule. I love the yoga feeling to it. It makes me take a deep breath and lower my shoulders.

Lovely and oh-so-peaceful..... Ommmm........ :)

[symphony]

Very soothing for my ears(i happen to be from a hindu background). I liked the serene sound of it-
"Silently into silence I go
I fold myself up
I do not move
My breath is slow............and deep
I have no thoughts of the past or the future"

Om Shanti. :)

[Pendragon]

Singing voices in simplicity
This poet seeks and finds
That magical ability
In so few words to show us time...

So beautiful ampoule, you do such an amazing job of setting a mood

Thank you very much Drama.
I had this feeling that I wanted to write in the 'gong' in some way, either with the word itself or a symbol but it seemed silly when I previewed it.
