Bach was the master of the rest notes.
He commanded them like no one else
and they obeyed. He asked each rest
to hold the world,
hold all anguish, pain and joy,
to mix all feelings, still all thoughts
and place the soul into the center of existence
untouched and new.
Bach was the master of all rest notes.
He was like a god spinning planets
around a central axis.
He knew how to spin a world so all threads
united, bowed,
created in the core of silence space for reverence,
just as the angels do each time they pray for grace
or watch souls moving toward God with yearning,
the unstoppable desire
to obey Untouched Existence,
to sit in the center as a virgin, new.
"Bach" is included in the book Chaos and Surrender: Healing Poems for the Soul.
