sounds have power

It is now summertime and the sky is swollen with hot moisture.  
A thunderstorm scares my cat, who runs under the bed. 
It reminds me of the power of mantra, and how sound
exists within all things.  A maple tree emits a glow in the form of song. 
This song is filled with grace and harmony--
sung by a deva drenched in shine.
And yet, it is startling, even though it is soft. 
It is startling because it comes from deep within me,
as if my inner light is creating the music.
It seems this tree has always been aware of my spirit, speaking with
it telepathically, even when I did not notice.  Then, when I do notice,
a bright choir engulfs my senses, and all is suspended.
