Translate the resurretion into sound,

A trillion megatons could not contain

Its shattering crescendo the universe around;

Heralding its volcanic and thunderous reign.



A world of humanity attuned to contagious sound

From every facet of ventured life and nature,

Is unimpressed and frustrated with silence,

And may question the veracity of its integrity.



Vast treasures of arts and science conceived

When the silence of mind and spirit abound;

The revelations of God are received,

For silence is the mother of sound.
