The Music Maker

Born of the stars an automaton struggles to thrive. The beast of burden seeks more, and looks to past and future, to revive.

.

Directed by giant heroes, reigning on their heavenly throne, the plow animal seeks release from life’s dramatic tone.

.

The beat of the heart's drum summons many a divine wraith to enter into what hangs between life, death and songs of faith.

.

Stars shift. From confused shadows, a poet describes a reality of the beauty of a rose, and looking over a vast sea.

.

The poet is a music maker, employed to bring joy by nobility. The poet serves as a cantor for the everyman and leads them with agility.

.

The poet’s song attracts many to join an ordered choir. Like a magnet, the performers , instruments and audience are moved by a divine fire.

.

The poet’s voice, adjusts mulish sensory inputs, for this moke soul. Individual uniqueness is understood to be part of a whole.

.

Depending on the direction of flow, songs carry different messages. Seemingly equivalent states like B# and C, hold different premises.

.

A well- tempered Pythagorean comma is an agreeable pause, with consonance, that does not pretend self-importance or authority but hints at universal providence.

.

The devil’s interval, an augmented 4th, creates dissonance when it appears. The uncomfortable, unresolved scale causes trauma, that unleashes doubts and fears.

.

The pause excites raw elements, that collapse the energy of the noble spirit of old, then distils metal blood and bone to immortal ichor, liquid gold.

Between here and there, the noble element does not react: between now and then it holds a value that is concrete and abstract.

.

Stars shine in the night skies. The music maker poet with the automaton’s soul sighs. The rose feels looked upon. The donkey plays a lyre, appreciating the tone, and grateful for the song.
