History Of Sound Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

The history of sound want I to relate to, refer to
As I know it not,
How did the sound break in for the first time,
Echoing in the cosmos,
With madrigals and word-notes
Or squeaks and chatters of animals?

When there had been any life on earth,
It would have been in a frozen state;
Had there been not the sun,
Then it would have substantiated it
By letting it chilled.

The history of creation began it with the sound,
The sound-break, the break of the sound
And it sounded, Om, AUM,
The world a circle,
The point of meditation.

The sound breaking, creaking and the vibration
Echoing around,
Life pulsating in the mother divinely womb,
Bearing the pangs of creation,
So mythical and so mystical.

But we feel it not,
Meditate it not over,
What it the truth we need have
Brooded over, meditated,
The sounds breaking forth
With the sprays and foams swirling from the sea waters
And the shores washed over.

The birds squeaking,
Babies shrieking,
The sunlight falling upon through the shady trees
And glistening
And life taking its wings,
Sounds paving the way for speeches
And speeches into signs, symbols and letters
To language and literature.
