Singing,

Among the ringing rocks

Of a hidden river,

I heard voices join mine.

 

Their song was swept,

with the soundless current,

Deeper….

 

The words gathered,

Angering the molten earth,

Throwing the musical

Through the terra firma

Into the darkness,

Singing.

 

Suddenly,

there was no sound

Upon the earth.

 

Beneath,

The silent singing

Of the dead

Went on….
