the song



in the bowed strings
of a day

the consonant braids
with the dissonant

the whole
sees its mirror
in the part

and the song
that is the passage of my soul
through this world
melds
seamlessly
with all others

in a place
defined entirely
by silence


~


"music is the wine that fills the cup of silence. "

  1. "Silence" said Mozart, "is the most important aspect of music"
    As your last word suggests.

  10. jinksy thankyou. there is "noise" in this life, so much noise and then sometimes i am aware of a quiet space and it's so fleeting in its presence but i can sense it coming and then there it is and just as suddenly - gone. steven
