was I a word
Intended to join in the chorus
Of the Cosmo's song?
OOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM
Can my tiny, unmelodious voice
Contribute anything to a sound
So long, so loud we cannot hear it?
Does the Cosmos even care
That I don't really know
How to sing?
How can I, if I'm just one word
In one song.
I'm trying to translate the word
That I am.
But all I know for sure is -
To be a verb could be moving! Especially when we need so little to make a huge difference.
ReplyDeleteyeah, a verb and a 'Be' verb...song of existence...beautiful Myrna..ha today i also used the word OM, though in a slightly different perspective :)
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing Myrna :D touched me deep to the core.
ReplyDeleteLots of love,
Sanaa
i dont know that it cares what we think of the quality of our voice - judgement like that is far too human. but i am sure that it listens
ReplyDeletei love that everyone of us sings their own song - and each song is important and heard by someone for whom the world wouldn't be the same if you didn't dare to sing - so - sing on... smiles
ReplyDeleteOh the Cosmos hears and wants your voice to join in the Universal chorus....more voices mean more love, kindness, peace and compassion in the world.
ReplyDeleteBig smiles. I suspect your tiny voice (all of our tiny voices) are essential for perfect harmony.
ReplyDeleteI love "I'm trying to translate the word that I am." Me too, kiddo.
ReplyDeleteYou just sang beautifully here! Can't sing, like heck! Loved this.
ReplyDeleteThis is so good... In the beginning was I a word... am going to be thinking of that for a long time! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is so good!! In the beginning was I a word.. am going to be thinking about that for a long time. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM is a universal sound that can lead to the creation of a word, I usually say it 3 times for clarity.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece, Myrna :) Whether the Cosmos recognizes it, the presence is at least evidence that it is there.
ReplyDelete"OM" holds the whole universe. In our Hindu culture every mantra of gods starts with "Om".
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Myrna.....Om is not a word but rather an intonation, which, like music, transcends the barriers of age, race, culture and even species.
ReplyDeleteBeing a verb is good as you are doing something!
ReplyDeleteVery well said – and thought.
ReplyDeleteSo you are a doing word.I fancy myself as more of an adverb:)
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!
ReplyDeletemuch love...
Wonderful poem, Myrna. Yes, we often feel insignificant in the vastness of the cosmos and the infinitude of eternity, however, that single verb we can utter can travel far and be amplified into a roar that does just what verbs are meant to: DO!
