Hum
I hear it
Everywhere I go
Sweet ambience
Of the universe
Whispering awareness
Into my consciousness
Patterns of humanity
Disrupt the
Patterns of chaos
There is more
Perfection
In the numbers of nature
The equations
Of the natural
Than any thought
I ever had
My thoughts
Give rise
To anomalies
Incomplete
In my lacking
But all around
In this sunflower
This tree
This nautilus
This leaf
In the beauty of your face
There is a ratio
Of pure gold
That arises
From its own
Being
And not
From what
It has tried
To be
A thread
Falls from my jumper
A button
Loosens
And is lost
Another lace
Breaks
I stop
And listen –
Hum
I hear it
Everywhere I go
Sweet ambience
Of the universe
Whispering
(From "52 Days, 63 Poems" by Colin Read)
