It is not something which I have yet heard
Nor that I am too too clear how to deliver
Though I know it to be bound with repetition
And I know it to have interacting layers
Also, for sure, it will have a musical ring
I listen to a morning chant
The word Magnalam resonates with me
Which I learn means auspicious
Also of having good fortune, from the Sanskrit
More though for me the material things
Which I see all around me
The table lamp which casts a circular glow
The wood burner which exudes warmth
The double glazed windows and French doors
Which allow me to see the dawn rising
Also the mug of warm tea from which I drink
And the headphones which deliver music
From a computer, to my ears, then on to my soul
Out of the words come other words
Out of the ramble flows joy
Heading towards fulfilment
Offered up for no reason other:
And Magnalam
Light and heat and sound
Magnalam
Mind and body and soul
Magnalam
Here and now and eternity
Magnalam
Sitting and hearing and sensing
Magnalam,
Peace and truth and beauty
Magnalam
Love of love of love
Magnalam
Your benefit your welfare
Magnalam
My benefit my welfare
