Music of Math

Written By Jason Lee

The sea shimmers sapphire

and the sky shines opal

Music of the ancient gods and goddesses

Where X represents time

And Y represents pitch

Notes dancing on the scale

To the perfect rhythm

Mother Nature’s heartbeat 2-4, 3-4, 4-4, 6-8

Air softly vibrates

composer’s choice of sine or cosine

Harmony of both

Carried by the moderato breeze

See the music of the universe

Hear the twinkle in the cosmic sphere

Stars humming the Fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5

Nautilus Shells singing the Golden ratio 1.618

Beneath the waves, where numbers flow

Equations in harmony endlessly grow

Each wave solves an equation

Written in the sand

The seas dance to the moon’s song

High and low, fast and slow

Dancing until everything becomes tacet

The tide follows an algorithm from the heavens

Shaping each rise and retreat

Even the ocean obeys equations it never learned

Reminds us of the beauty and patterns in the world

And so the world conducts its silent score

Equations dissolve into twilight,

But the rhythm remains -

Etched in every wave, every wind, every memory

We are notes, briefly rising,

Then fading into the music of it all.
