Sing
Sing!
The human spirit
That cries to the winds
Laughs with the rain
Resonate!
Voices of mercy and hate
Consoling the memories of our experience
Again and again
Vibrato!
Of penetrating spirit-filled passion
Reaching from the innermost soul
Breaking the silence like thunder
Tremulous!
Emanation of intrinsic wisdom
Sonorous to emulating
Our innermost identity
Overtones!
Cascading on the ears of gratitude
I sing fire and ice
Its mood and elation awakens us
Timbre!
More divine than nature in its greatest reverence
A heart of tears - a smile of joy
Captures the divinity of its language
Harmonic!
That all understand
Absorbing the beauty with the cantor of genius
Striking deeply in our thoughts
Serenade!
"I know this so utterly...
The hearts interpretation of our common kinship...
Our human condition liberated in song!"
Sing!
