Symphony

Finally, a new poem. I've been writing for other projects lately, but that shouldn't stop me from writing for this blog more often. This one was partly inspired by a workshop I did this weekend, and partly from just sitting in a sushi restaurant, listening. 


Silence.
     and then a swelling
  of sound
filling every little space.

Everything is moving
    and flowing
and binding and bonding
with each other.

And then     Silence
and stillness
and peace.
    filling every little space.

A moving cacophony of silent stillness
   Waiting
for something to happen
   for the next step
towards     a new movement
a new piece   a new scene     a new colour
to add
  to the symphony of life
of humanity
   moving flowing
  reaching and bumping
into each other

like little atoms
like little drops of water
moving   together
   towards
a moment of stillness to fill the room
the space    we inhabit
  in the Universe

ever flowing
towards
something new
   and exciting
       and scary
          terrifying
and yet
      so beautiful
this symphony       of life.
