World Poetry Day

Two Mondays ago it was World Poetry Day. I wanted to post a poem then, but it had not yet fully formed. So here it is. Straight from the Formless!

Sonic Truth

It's so soft we often miss it
although it's always there.

For some it's like a chirping cricket
calling out in the nighttime air.

For others it comes in less quiet ways
like the crashing of the ocean's waves.

For me it's like a chandelier
dangling from my inner ear.

This most pleasing of sounds
comes from a stillness without bounds.

With a message containing the following refrain:
from formless oneness the cosmos came.

To find this sonic truth in you
listen for this subtle cue:

It begins as OM then rises as HU
until everything's one and there's no more you.
