The Subtlest Sound of All

Every sound
Tis part of
AUM__

Yet

AUM__’s
Last syllable

Tis not
Silent

Rather a summons to
Art in the heart
Subtlest whisper of AUM__

The Sound of Silence
Evokes art
Murmuring in the heart

Every
Heartbeat
A fragment of AUM__

Heart
At the center
Of every sound

Each beat
The artistic teat
Nourishing
The Art of AUM__

Heart
Makes visible
In the last syllable
The subtlest sound of all

AUM__
Whispering its Art
