A sound I heard the other day

resonated in the strangest way.

It sounded like the earth did sing

like the deepest bell did ring.

I never found from where it came

or even if it had a name,

but the resonance is with me still

and I know it wards off ill.

I hope one day I’ll hear it again;

It’s timbre seemed to sooth all pain.

Perhaps it was all in my mind

but I know it helped me to unwind.
