HYMNS TO MYSTIC FIRE---OM

OM, THE MYSTIC FLAME

Om, the first emanation,
Om, the object of all meditation,
Om, the tongue of every revelation,
Om, the truth beyond contemplation.

Om, the mystic flame
pervading the whole creation,
every word and chant,
the resonance that forever haunts.

Om, the celestial eyed,
the all-creating Spirit,
the ear of every psalm
the eye of every vision.

In every swell heave Om,
in every sound hear Om,
in every speck see Om
in every breath breathe Om,

Om, the fire,
Om, the fuel,
Om, the flesh,
Om, the cross.

Om, the wick, Om the oil, Om the light,
Om, the soul of everything bright,
Om, the yearning of the ocean-tide,
Om, the love-longing of the bride.

Om, the night of nihil,
Om, the dawn eternal,
Om, the deathless flame,
Om, the all-redeeming pain.

Om, the golden egg of origin,
Om, the dream of creation,
Om, the dance of dissolution,
Om, the beginning, Om the termination.

Om, the root, Om, the fruit,
Om, the seed and sprout,
Om, the all-creating Light,
Om, the morning star of night.

Om, the lonely tread of the lone,
Om, the pilgrim of the unknown,
Om, the triumphal march of time,
Om, the Song of Song sublime.

Om, the Truth of Truth for ye all to know
beyond suffering, beyond every human woe,
Om, whence come all beings and things,
Om, where do they go borne on the swing.

Om, the formless first,
Om, the causeless cause,
Om, the wordless word
whence have flowed the entire.
