The Inspiration

I thought I would share why I chose the name SoundsofPower for this blog.  Normally, I won't be posting a lot of my poetry here but I'll make an exception this time because it is the inspiration behind the name.  This poem came to me in the shower, as so many of them do now, nearly complete as if downloaded from another source directly into my brain.  Let me know what you think.

Architects

It is not the language you speak.
It is not the words,
or the meaning behind the words.
It is the sounds that have power.
It is the sounds
that heal
as they vibrate deep within
the organ of your throat,
trembling and twisting the air,
shaping it
into stronger, more complex patterns --
sonic structures
that are perfect
yet ever changing.

These
are your songs.
These
are your prayers---
the sacred geometry
that builds the invisible world around us
and then,
the visible.

I am not asking you to wake.
I am asking you to dream
a different dream.
One that begins with raised voices
and ends
with a world
unlike any you've ever
known.

It is time to sing.
