These three poems are words to songs I am writing, although I have not yet decided the instrumentation - or even if there will be a vocalist. The words I write for songs often are not about myself - here the last poem, III, is. But in the words for songs I am trying to universalize the human condition - and hopefully helping others to find a way to Beauty and Love, Hope ...
Spring Song
I
The day
begins in sunlight;
All is new.
The sweet songs
of the birds
further illumine the air,
and a warm breeze
carries life itself
into the garden,
caressing my face.
And yet tears fall
blindly
with no name
or place -
and they are mine.
II
My heart overflows
with unsung songs,
Unspoken words
float within my being
in silence,
A silence as deep
as the sea
before me.
III
I close my eyes -
My soul burns
within me
effortlessly ignoring
the cares of this world.
Suddenly my love for you,
for all that exists
Reaches out
endlessly
into Infinity.
Spring Song
