The gateless gate opens
To reveal no sound
Except the hum of life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are our eons
Cast all around us
We are blind to them<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hear the sound of surf
Sweeping all mind away
But there is great unity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s all move in time
Above the morass
We call human life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by The White Noisery (2012) by Jennifer Walshe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This poem was composed for the Musarc Winter Konsert 2023: We Are Participating.
There was a Shared Reader and Writing Project for members of the choir and this was my final input after several discussions and Zoom calls. The poem was incorporated into a psalm \u201cThe night is cold and the radio seems to be on\u201d, which was written by members of the choir and performed with the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithout a doubt, hers is the most original compositional voice to emerge in Ireland in the last 20 years.\u201d Michael Dervan, The Irish Times
