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.
