Spirituality by Vincent Van Ross

The best of everything

Is offered to God

Be it art,

Architecture

Or, Music

Music is the lubricant

Of every religion

It is woven into

Rites and rituals

Devotional songs

Had a niche market

On gramophone records

Tapes, CDs, DVDs

And, now, on internet

Hymns for Christians

Kawalis for Muslims

Bhajans for Hindus

Chants for Buddhists

Kirtans for Sikhs

So on and so forth

Whether it is the Church

Or Masjid

Or Mandir

Or Monastry

Or Gurudwara

Or, any other place of worship,

Most rituals ride on music

There is some supernatural power

That drives the whole universe

Our best offerings are devoted

And dedicated to that power

When music reaches that power

And, touches the heart and soul

Of that Supreme Being

Music achieves spirituality

Preface . . .

There is a human language that encompasses the globe, regardless of race, color, creed or country. Much the same way as laughter or tears, or any of our human emotions. When we see someone laugh, there is a universal language that is communicated by all of us. We know they are happy. Just as when we see someone crying, it is generally accepted to mean they are, most likely, sad. However, the language I am referring to goes beyond the sight of emotions, and runs deeper than the tear streaked lines of a sad face. I am speaking of a language that can penetrate to the deepest depths of the human psyche, it can be felt in the beating of our hearts and it can leave us soaring among our dreams.

This universal language is music.

Upon these waves of sound we can find our spirits lifted to the heavens, we can feel the beats and the rhythms in our beings and we are moved by the vibrations. We may become lost in a memory or a moment of time may be singled out by the distinct patterns and oscillations of a melody. We may gather by the thousands to listen to this music together or we may be alone in our rooms, or be dancing with our friends or cuddling with our love, but the universal language of music expands human communication beyond the normal realm. It propels us into the wavelengths of our souls, and it is there that we become in tune, we find our harmonies, and we recognize that there is a true power in music.

The poetry included in this book seeks to capture that essence and tap into that power. These are the lines of communication opened and inspired by the universal language called music.
