Sound is vibration
begets round sound,
random noise,
white nuances,
dark soulful nights,
symphonic nests,
harmonic intersections
Organic macrolife is self and other,
ego and eco, empowerment
begets unvoiced
prevoiced
voiced
revoiced
nonvoiced enculturing love
choice
For love is God's great goddess power
begets compassion between faithful passion tribes
of trees,
toads,
turtles,
thistles,
thunder,
testimonies,
civil teas
Regenerating energy
resounding vibrant co-relational
responsive co-passions
responsible correlations
In-between rhythms
vibrating round patterned sound
of EarthDay powers
of light systemic synergy.
A moment of Joy is never quite alone
As sorrow doesn't linger that far behind,
For every birth somewhere, somebody dies
For every romantic start, one unwinds.
So much of life is transient and agile,
Like a ripple in pond, it's quite fragile.
Emotions in life are like air we breathe:
Pulsating forever without being seen.
Jasmine flower plucked will soon curl up,
A smile rebuffed will burn for a while,
Dreams shattered may never rise up,
Child living in fear cannot hold a smile.
Delicate young mind is easily swayed,
Heart abandoned may never recover,
Friendship ignored will eventually fade,
Romance unfulfilled will look elsewhere.
Passion that resonates may be real love,
Conversation that dwells may be friendship,
If you let go life's beautiful moments,
You'll never know fully what life meant.
A sudden discourse of a random noise
Pollutes the sound of a rhythmic voice.
Delicate are the souls deeply forlorn,
Listen for their sigh as they silently mourn.

HM: Strand Pick E Contest by Brian Strand
A stray breeze blows,
Three wind chimes sing
A haunting flow,
Where wind gust flings.
A touch now steers,
The wind chimes move
Random noise cheers,
Musical grooves.
A floating shrill,
Brisk mellow sighs
Align and thrill
Wind lullabies.
A straying voice,
Now pleasures fill
With gusty poise,
Wind spreads a will.
Wind chimes set score
In actual feel,
A surreal core
Of sound appeal.
A cryptic flow
Of haunting voice,
A piping glow
In dreamy poise.
