A sonnet ode to the music rest to metaphorically hint at the power of silence, introspective meditation and reflection in life as well as all art forms.

Creative, finely cadenced artistry,

weaves counterpoint with melodies refined,

producing auditory poetry

that elevates the height of human mind.

Elation is the voice of inspiration—

the quest of all who wish to be a guest

in citadels of lofty concentration

where finest silence find’s its peacefulness.

Cacophonies’ contempt becomes exempt

from momentary stillness of the rest

between the fluid tones whose flow preempts

the probe of mystic inward-centeredness.

Accentuating silence using sound,

ironically, makes music more profound.
