Publisher's Synopsis

This book is a sequence poem of 505 parts. It took me several years to write it. The poem is an old idea that I had sometime a long time ago. It was inspired by some music that I used to listen to called "Song of the Nightingale." The idea of the universe being so dark and so cold and always being in the darkness of the nighttime made me wonder a bit for the nightingale sings its songs mostly maybe only by night. So the universe could be a haunted place that nightingales wander throughout in the darkness and guarding and watching over everything where it can ultimately rule the stars and moons as it supposedly should do. There are also midnight nightmares that wander throughout the stars in these enormous gatherings of birds and horses singing for someday the universe will come to its conclusion; and it's all mixed in with basic modern-day science aspects and things to try to be something new; and it tries to explain the universe with songs of nightingales and nightmares, ravens and crows, and mockingbirds mixed in with the wonder of where the universe has really come from. From the darkness it all has come and to the darkness it all shall return. And from nowhere it has come, to nowhere it will return. As Einstein says, "I want to know how God made the universe."


"I see my life in terms of music" --Albert Einstein
