The Zen of Music

In the hush before the first sweet tone,
A world unfolds, vast and unknown.
The breath of silence holds its sway,
Inviting the soul to drift away.

Strings hum softly, a whisper’s plea,
A melody floats like a leaf on the sea.
Each note a ripple, serene and clear,
Echoes of stillness draw you near.

Drums like heartbeats, steady and true,
Ground the spirit in rhythms anew.
The pulse of life, both fierce and mild,
Guides the mind like a wandering child.

Voices rise, a celestial stream,
Blending the waking world with dream.
Harmony weaves through time and space,
Binding the infinite in its embrace.

In music's flow, the self dissolves,
A riddle of being gently resolves.
No need for seeking, no need to strive,
In the song’s embrace, we’re wholly alive.
