‘Music’
by A. S. J. Tessimond
This shape without space,
This pattern without stuff,
This stream without dimension,
Surrounds us, flows through us,
But leaves no mark.
This message without meaning,
These tears without eyes,
This laughter without lips,
Speaks to us but does not
Disclose its clue.
These waves without sea
Surge over us, smooth us.
These hands without fingers
Close-hold us, caress us.
These wings without birds
Strong-lift us, would carry us
If only the one thread broke.
The sampled mp3 below is just to give an idea of the piece. If anyone has recorded a performance please let me know.
