Soundscape of LightA Poem by Josef GrafAn excerpt from The Earth Vision Travelogue
In the night, as his dreaming forms a weaving of sound and image, he experiences a stream condensing from an ethereal height. Grounded in spirit, anchored in light, a chorale flows earthbound to merge with redwood violin streams, wandering coyote piano keys, shimmering swan trumpetings, and myriad other voicings that form a symphonic pool. Within the pool, trout and salmon harmonies wheel in a broad eddy, interplaying a lucency that wakens an angel who dwells upon a ridge of joy. And the river of light-sound spills down through a forest of dancing nature spirits and out across a broad plateau, over which lofts the angel prisming with light and color. Steadfast the radiance glides on until, by the rim of the plateau, whitewatering through a canyon of deepening hope, the stream of rarefied consciousness rounds a final bend, then tumbles as a waterfall, a heartsong that cascades down into the Void. . . There is no sound now. No movement. Only silence and stillness. And a soft imperceptible glow. The mystery has begun. © 2008 Josef Graf
