The sphere-sounds of union

"Philosophers have said
that we love music
because it resembles
the sphere-sounds of union.

We have been part of a harmony before,
so these moments of treble and bass
keep our remembering fresh.

Hearing the sound, we gather strength.
Love kindles with melody.
Music feeds a lover composure,
and provides form for the imagination.
Music breathes on personal fire
and makes it keener."
