The Soundlings

    In Moonlight...
        just beneath the ocean surface
            the water spirits gather
                to sing their state of being

    these are the Soundlings...

    their song echoes throughout the deep
        and is carried by the soul of giant currents
            linking continents and rivulets...

    the Soundlings sing their state of being

    In Sunlight...
        the Soundlings rise from the surface vapours to the sky
            their song carried on the shoulders of the wind
                and echoed in every cloud and sunset
                    until the entire atmosphere rings with song...

    the Soundlings sing their state of being

    Then ... When hot meets cold
        and where mountains touch sky
            the Soundlings fall to earth, mountains, seas, lakes,
            rivers and streams
                …returning with a rush of music

    the Soundlings sing their state of being

    In the Moonlight... In the Sunlight... You can hear their song...
        a mantra that connects and sustains all
    Listen softly, listen long…

    Let their song awaken your soul
    And your heart herald their message
