Join me in my campaign to bring the conservation of Nature
and the best of classical music together. The sonosphere—the
sea of sounds which surrounds us—deserves as much attention and
care as our water and air!







THE COLOR BLACK

for raven


The raucous sounds of birds burned
black with rage,
banished forever
to a cage
with fear for bars, victims of
their own inauspicious presence
on battlefields past.
Waiting.
Sensing what

was to come.
The smell of rotting

flesh. (Did they know who was to die?)
Ah, but this unbearable silence
filled with
thought’s ravenous flies
biting at the brain’s tender meat.

Such a bird
is no friend.

But who is lacking in light? Is no
rapprochement possible? Do we
not feel for
this creature
whose wings
must fly through
skies
clouded with
death’s image?

See the clarity of their calm
indifference.

Soaring quietly now from
their high place of safety, a day-
time

witness

to our ancient dread of night.



(URNERLAND, The Alps,
from ON PATHS)
