In A Word

In a Word

An uttered word,
Beating,
Spoken,
Exchanged,
Word.

A sound,
Movement through the air,
Movement of the air,
Passing to each vibrating atom,
Onwards,
Forever.

Like the beating drum,
A signal,
A message,
Perception,
Call,
A summons.

Atom upon atom passing on the message.
Handing over the word,
Passing the message,
The heartfelt thought.....

Reflected, refracted and propagated .....
Eventually entering the ear...the brain.....the heart....the soul....

The uttered word - a thought.....
A spark of synapse
Captured
.....Thought.
Becomes self...

An uttered word,
Spoken,
Exchanged,
A sound,
Movement through the air,
For infinity.

A Drum
Vibrating.
Pounding
An endless rhythm
A wave,
Pressure,
Displacement,
Travelling to
Perception

Each utterance, heard, felt,
That started long ago
A beating butterflies wing
Vibrating the air,
waves set rolling
The movement of two planets
A word, still out there
Across eons
Across dimensions
A beating drum, vibrating
A signal,

Movement through the air,
Movement of the air,
A message, a perception, a call,
A summons
An eternal promise
Beating,
....In a Word.
