Life is
a simple
haunting melody
plucked
on God's
monochord.
And then come the chords,
and the dissonances.
In some songs
in some poems
in some paintings
and sculptures,
in sunsets
rainbows and storms,
at breathtaking
loving moments,
the echoes
resound on the soul,
and hold us
transfixed
in timeless wonder.
As the light
calls the moths,
as honey
the bees,
the yearning
for that single minded
magic tone
calls forth lives
again, and again
and again.
