Musical Sounds and Notes

Our universe creating tunes in the air

I can always feel the vowels
In some music, while the notes
Ride on the rhythm,
Often landing in nouns.

I have little heart to hear
The harshness of Wagner’s
Tones, clanging with clashes
That sound to me like
Never-ending anger.

Composer Leonard Cohen’s lyrics
In his song “Hallelujah” are angry
But each time I hear it
I want to sing along
And cheer when I should sneer
With the irony of the lyrics,
While mouthing “Hallelujah”.

Humans mouth the sacred sound of Aum
In tune with Earth’s never-wavering
Background hum.
Often we humans don’t know
Why we feel peaceful
With the sound of Aum.

Our inner vibrations harmonize
With the rhythm of Universal
Life energy.
