An original poem.


-------------

simple feelings in sound embrace my mind

as i listen to the harmony of

the voices. how lucky i am, a blind

man with an interested ear. the love

of the spheres that kepler knew i have found

again. perfect pitch and resonant tones

fill the soul with an idea of god. sound

can mesmerise. geometry alone

shows the simple relations, but music

inspires the passion for perfection. soon

the moons and rings will compose symphonies

for man as they have for the earth and moon

for eons. these celestial harmonies

i will hear. this is the classic physic.
