Thoughts spiraling like pages in the wind
Sitting in Carnegie Hall listening acuity to
DEBUSSY, Sonata for Violin
And Piano

Wondering bout Einstein’s, unfinished symphony
Perceiving no limits or bounds of breathing space
What confidence in validity, the inevitable artistry
Imagine music in all its evenness,
His premise

Slopping curvatures of some period’s path being flexed
A light weight celebrity taking miles of photographs
Hush of nature, observes and smiles
Tickling conscious into a dazzling network of thoughts

Powerful and dense waves of sound
Celestial quasars receiving signals from God
Stellar shifting positions, reflecting off spheres
Pulse passed echoes returned to earth’s nucleolus

Splitting into multiple images in agreement
His music was like a clock in space, pertinent
Simply regaled in its place in Princeton
Old nostalgia rather listening to reason
How pleasant…tip toeing through thoughts

Frequency shifting gamma rays, gravitational freedom
Like hydrogen oscillating, traveling on its side, fluent
Where I hear better and run faster, in a calculated waltz
Splitting into pieces by theory of flaw
Living thriving fields with an actual face
Massive forces never to be contained
And ultimate recalculations again and again

Laser, maser, microwaves, cosmic drama
Motion hop scotching eras
Singing across some natural maze
Accurately perceiving lighted highways
Choral tones creating a wondrous music in space

ah, a harmony of peace or a cacophony of joy?

you certainly "play" words well

(Your words are your musical instruments that you use to describe what you are hearing. Joy can be boisterous, even noisy to passers by, cacophony is noise. Harmony has a peacefulness to it that is soothing. The sounds you hear can be both types and both types can invoke joy. You make the reader wish to hear exactly what fills you with such inspiration. That's the best that I can explain it, perhaps my words are not "playing" as well as yours.)



Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

It is obvious through much of your poetry that you are a musician yourself.   Enjoyed!   ....jo
