Sound Current

I come aware

of the river of sound

flowing through me

and its currents

all around

singing to me

I dip my face in,

Fill my throat

with sweet music

Warble it out

Let it quench

my constant thirst to be in tune,

Let my bones hum,

my heart descant 

I roll and dive

in its bright curl and tumble,

Luxuriate in its exultant presence.

It bears me up, enlivens,

teaches me

It takes me homeward

to infinity.
