The mundane mind grapples
to grasp and measure growth
When surreptitiously dissipates
a seen and destined path
Sprayed with solvent words
speech dissolves the world
And touched tensions relax
their taut revealing tones
So harmony may be heard
in the harried man’s hearing
A sphere of strings lines up
the sounds super straying
As points collapse
and purpose proposes everything
An integrated overwhelming
of one idea
Whole: holes—Timeless: Time
The faculty captured: flying free
And soul sees wisdom
and suffers willful beauty
