The symphony of Existence

The symphony of Existence                                                                       

When everything is attuned, settled
and still, there can be no music.

Required is an adversarial arrangement,
artfully constructed – the bow across the neck –

a violation of the once quiescent strings;
the air trembling into a carefully shaped emptiness

and music is formed from components
which alone and inert make no sound.

And if everything is infinitely One,
perfect, absolute, attuned and quiescent,

it takes an illusory breach, tension and division
to draw the bow and quiver the strings,

to create the moment to moment performance
of the singular symphony of Existence.

O child of God, have faith in the utter necessity
of every aspect of God’s composition.
