Afire
Listening through dense music
Devouring words in all forms
Creating another path
Moving with the companions

a few
As the sun sets on the first Monday after the clocks have sprung forward,
_The late afternoon sun triggers let-down, a sure sign of Spring.
_"Critics without credentials" - a quote that muffles the noise.
_As some pieces undergo further development, don't freak out.
_I will embrace the parts that comprise the whole.

Morning
Wonder what you reach out for?
And what you sit and wait for?

...another comes to mind
Some texts linger from many years ago. This is another that was learned through song:
And the next one recently left a deep impression. No tune, but a conversation is associated with it. Interesting how a set of words is so strongly colored by context.

and we will drink our fill
of the milk of the white goat,
or wine if it be thy will.
And we will talk,
until talk is a trouble, too,
out on the side of the hill;
And nothing is left to do,
but an eye to look into an eye,
and a hand in a hand to slip;
and a sigh to answer a sigh;
And a lip to find out a lip!
What if the night be black!
And the air
on the mountain chill!
Where all but the fern is still!
Stay with me, under my coat!
and we will drink our fill
of the milk of the white goat,
out on the side of the hill!
And the next one recently left a deep impression. No tune, but a conversation is associated with it. Interesting how a set of words is so strongly colored by context.
