The Sound

Hummmmmmm When my mind is clear Hummmmmmm On awakening Sometimes strong, but seldom faint Hummmmmmmm I can but lay and listen The SOUND is not threatening It stops If I rationalize It stops! One always lay in wonder No physical source is near Hummmmmmmmmm The SOUND of the universe Hummmmmmmmmm I think my soul is telling Telling me to be aware Dave Austin

Rationalizing interrupts the magic of just 'being' in the moment and paying attention to the 'now'; the universe within and without oneself.. A beautiful, insightful poem of self awareness..

Our minds can be the most peaceful and tranquil place to escape to in a chaotic world... This poem is very calming and has a nice relaxing affect on the reader. A very well written piece, Daver :)
