When God said, “Let there be light..”
What if he said it with drums?
Tablas, a djembe, talking drums?
Not much need for a material universe
Without rhythm

Maybe, before the big bang
There was a tone
an om, a root, a drone
You could call it silence, I suppose
there being no space and all
but a feeling?

No, start again
We’ll need TWO tones and
three would be better
It’s not the music of the SPHERE, you need SPHERES
A note can’t be blue without interval
Not sweet, not sour, its sweet AND sour!

Maybe before the big bang
was a holy trinity of tones
Just waiting for God
Just waiting AS God
God the triad
Heart of God
Mind of God
Ear of God

When God said, “Let there be light”
he said it with drums
and heard that it was good
