Sound

 
The spirituality of sound  
of a gong  
of a loon  
the impossible grieving  
of mourning doves  
the cracking of ice  
the drone of urban streets  
trucks rumbling  
over wooden bridges  
a cat’s purr
 
There’s a need to hold sound  
to feel its pulsation  
to see colors of sound  
or to hear the sun mounting  
the sky or  
the bloodless and wicked  
sound of lightning  
 
Ah, the overflowing tapestry  
of sounds  
with their invisible force  
or the unconscious sounds  
of the dead  
diffused and distant  
or the meandering of echoes
  
the broadcast, the transmission  
the longwinded sermons    
the cry of newborns  
the utterance, the announcement  
a city’s cacophony, the uproar  
 
the dissonant chord  
the rhetoric of schizophrenics  
or Purple Passages of Deep Purple  
psychedelic or progressive sounds  
 
Om, a sound of guidance  
the chant, the mantra, the moan  
of orgasms, the gasp, the scream  
the subtleness of a whisper
