is there a sound
when one mind touches another?
when the thoughts
stretch across miles
across time
across an apparently unbridgeable chasm
across unimagined obstacles
obstacles of this world
and
other worlds
it should be as a clap
of thunder. . .
or a bell tolling in the still air of
the first morning of time. . .
a momentous event deserves a momentous sound
the touch of two minds
two hearts
two souls
should make such
a cacophony
that Beethoven’s Ninth
would seem but a whisper in comparison.
there should be
a light so bright that
the sun would die of shame
for her pitiful display
why is there nothing
but the quiet whisper of a sigh
and the tolling of one single word
Inevitable
