In this little piece, I’ve tried to describe what it’s like to create - music, art, poetry, etc. I learned, words are insufficient!

The Arrakis sample is from my Kurzweil, recorded direct. I mic’d the Harmonium, handmade in Afghanistan. My dear friend Antonia recently gave me this beautiful instrument. I am still a novice, but something bursts in my heart each time I play it!

Emergence

Inspiration ignites
An invisible channel
That opens
Between machine
And
Soul

Fingers
Become mere extensions
Hands
Only servants
To a vast, silent source
Unseen
Yet, irrefutable.

I let go
And lose any
Separate identity
From this Infinite fountain,
That pours a river of heaven
Through me.

We
Merge
Like the Star,
Whose golden cups
Paint the Universe.
Her creation
Absolves time.

Now
Emerging
From Conscious
Undercurrent

Art
Is
Born.
