We resonate
as effortless as A strings,
for the frequency is here —
We hum, we sing,
no exertion on our part —
just what we feel, just what we are

This joy of being sounded
is like none other —
We recognize that it is everything
we’ve always longed for,
why we are here.

It fills us with the thrum of our own essence,
gives us our place
in the sweet melody and chords
that modulate exquisitely
all down the vast curve of being.
