Fleshed from a mystery Source <br /> Beginningless, the Bethlehem Baby's <br /> Breathing far outvalues every <br /> Human utterance and common resonance <br /> That ever broke the <br /> Silence of our world. <br /> Each hidden discord, too, it <br /> Hushes in the awestruck worshipper, <br /> Birthing a precious music in the <br /> Hearing of open hearts. <br /> For, unmasked here at <br /> His lowly manger-bed, we <br /> Inhale His simple Truth. <br /> And from the soothing <br /> Rhythm of His quiet breath <br /> A soul-embracing silence grows- <br /> Deeper far than absences of <br /> Earth's familiar sounds.<br /><br />(Reverend) Patrick Deighan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/infant-breath/
