That all the universe <br />Should hear and join in our music <br />We are given the earth <br />As instrument <br />Its rivers as strings <br />For sounding board, its inner caves <br />As plectrum, our hearts <br />As voice, what winds we may control <br />Blowing ever east to west <br />Mind to spirit. <br /> <br />Imagine, then <br />Between the listening stars <br />And transmitting quasars <br />A music large as humanity <br />- If only we will learn <br />(Again?) to play it.<br /><br />Brian Purdy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/that-all-the-universe-should-hear/
