Hunger

I can see my universe nightly And study the bodies that I see While that is almost, almost enough Half the picture is missing from me Cacophony or a symphony The vacuum of space muffles our ears I can see an orchestra of stars Playing soft music that no one hears Trillions of stars playing their own tune- Perhaps they all roar like a jet plane But maybe they sound like ocean waves Perhaps it's the sound of Summer rain I hunger to know what that sound is While knowing that I'm best in silence The universe seems in explosion And there's always noise in violence So I continue to stare aloft And wonder just what sounds are in play Someday I will know - or I will not Are violins in the Milky Way ? 7-20-19 Contest: Hunger Sponsor: Silent One
