hollow bone

for m

Sometimes you have to stop the Music

and step into the Stillness -

Breath the only sound

a Harmony of Spirit joined with Life Force

Animated by the Terror and Ecstasy

of emergence from the womb

the first fragile cry

announcing this Incarnation to the Universe

No more,

the silent muffled world inside the Waters

The dissonance of the heavens

comes un-muted to the tiny shell-like ear

Roaring like the Ocean, like the Storm

Howling winds, the cacophony of the naked Stars

Surrounding encasing

Numbing

The gossamer skin of the Soul

Cries of Love and Desolation

radiate from the core of Remembered Light

There Songs also are born

Tones belling sighing keening

from that Deepest place

And Breath, the reed,

gives Voice

as from a carved bone whistle

to those Songs of Loss and Yearning

Songs of Joy and Praise

for All That Is
