Earth Music

Earth Music The earth ever composes mystical arias for me That taste the splendor of rolling thunder, To touch the silent metronomes of lyric waves That hypnotize my presto pulse in movements perpetual. The sounds of earth… Earth music arranges lively spinning scarazzos In magic lines for my inspiration To scent the shades of pastel pitch And reverberate in paschal hues of dawn and dusk. The music of my soul Revolving earth ever sings new scores in spheres That resolve discordant tones of atonality In rumbling fault zones that move to nascent reality Paeans, chants, in deep river waterfalls drumming. The sounds of earth…. Earth music hums in timorous rotation with me To resound in the harmony of celestial orbits Tuned, tuned into, tremulous tones in shadows and storms With a tuning fork of vibrating seasons. The music of my soul The earth ever writes solos of meadows for me Sunlight’s bright vibratos skipping with energy In the fragrance of fragrant harp strings Plucked like wildflowers of whispering flutes The sounds of earth… Earth music performs the music of my soul Grace notes, once in the grip of apathy, Voice the sweetness of cricket canticles In the symphony of my soul. Earth music for my soul 8-9-22

Love your harmonies, Sam, especially like 'waterfalls drumming' and 'wildflowers of whipsering flutes' - should be a top winner!

Reading this exquisite piece, Sam, I could hear that "earth music" perfectly. It really got my "presto pulse" racing.

Thank you so much Jim! When I finally pay attention, I do get to hear the melody of the earth - a lovely symphony indeed. I am so glad that you liked this poem. I had fun composing it thinking about all of the music around me. All the best!
