Birth
As through the ages, you are
the flow of sand
through an hourglass
As I look on, on my way
to be first born
for a thousand times
But who are we...
Who are we...
Who are we...
Who are we...
Is this the sky?
I’m speeding on a highway
can you feel me
waiting for the birth
Creation is the nurse’ry
I sing to you
I heed everything
But where is he...
Where is he...
Where is he...
Where is he...
And why am I?
the flow of sand
through an hourglass
As I look on, on my way
to be first born
for a thousand times
But who are we...
Who are we...
Who are we...
Who are we...
Is this the sky?
I’m speeding on a highway
can you feel me
waiting for the birth
Creation is the nurse’ry
I sing to you
I heed everything
But where is he...
Where is he...
Where is he...
Where is he...
And why am I?

That's so very kind (and sweet also) of you MissEly. I thought I'd give it a try as I replayed the song to get a feel and something started in my head. I'm glad for your appreciation.

This is an honor for me dear poet BB, for your visit, dear words and RL. It does find me well with support such as yours.
Be well through thick and thin,

I actually read this while listening to the music, Kathy. The combination was very moving; you definitely captured an essence. xo

This is such a beautiful surprise oh dear One. And yes I'm so glad how the combination carried you as it most definitely did myself. And thank you for the RL addition. x

Being lost in the mystery of life seems de-facto the human experience. I like the way your poem (and the music) moved me to write these words. Nicely done, Josh.
Another lovely surprise - seeing you have come in with your insight and expression of appreciation - to have both verse and music carry you away is such an honor for me.

I agree with Josh. The repeated line lending a rather lyric harmony to the whole.

Thank you poet Daniel, for the honor of your thoughts and insight. Many is becoming the times of humble uplift.
Kathy, you chose a beautiful song from the comp list that I listened to a number of times before reading your offering. I could hear where it communed with the possibilities while still reverberating both the song and yourself. A lovely collaboration.
