Is the unconscious act of breathing, a form of speech
Can the exhale of inhale’s pitch; to soundwaves preach?
Is breath, not the chanter in speech’s ventricular song,
Voicing the dulcet cords of the childhood mother tongue.
Perhaps, if breath is a form of speech, a language of its own
Then in quiet reflection, with silence to ourselves alone
Then maybe, just maybe, breath is silence’s Rosetta stone,
Transcribing the breath, spiritum, into the language of the soul.
Beautiful, I believe so and trust every word breathed upon the philosophical page.

Wow….. amazing poem. I love it… also I had not heard of the Rosetta Stone before… very cool.
For anyone else here curious: “The Rosetta Stone is a granodiorite stele inscribed with three versions of a decree issued in Memphis, Egypt in 196 BC” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_Stone
