Songs Of The Universe



On a backdrop of crushed velvet
Luna shines and Solaris glimmers.

Artists within the tribe, entangled,
snagged by the beauty of the moment.
Someone taps a rhythmic beat
slow and steady like a heart at rest.

One-at-a-time others juxtapose unique sounds.
singly made sounds gradually entrained
into a single, complex melody.

Diverse voices spontaneously chant
narrative tales of bold adventure
punctuated
by ballads of love and loss.

Word and rhythm
guided, conducted,
orchestrated by the divine.

Dissimilar twins in gravitational pull;
Divinity inspired by humanity.
Humanity emboldened by nature.
Musical themes evolving in unison,
celestial bodies apprehended in mutual orbit
revolving in the universal symphony.
