No matter how long..
When you have lived for so long
Endured for so long
That you touch what you believe
could only ever be laid in song.
What can you do, but go on?
For however long
Knowing you've touched a living song
And the song no matter how long
Always calls you on..
What can you do, but go on?
That no matter how long
Hanging in a bated breath
You'll always hold that song..
That no matter how long
In the rhythm of its touch
You'll always feel that song..
That no matter how long
Residing within the chest
Is the living place of that endless song..
That no matter how long
What can you do, but go on..
Endured for so long
That you touch what you believe
could only ever be laid in song.
What can you do, but go on?
For however long
Knowing you've touched a living song
And the song no matter how long
Always calls you on..
What can you do, but go on?
That no matter how long
Hanging in a bated breath
You'll always hold that song..
That no matter how long
In the rhythm of its touch
You'll always feel that song..
That no matter how long
Residing within the chest
Is the living place of that endless song..
That no matter how long
What can you do, but go on..

I know every poem can be seen from different perspectives given the experience one has had with life, but this reminds me of The Song Of Solomon, an enduring love that only grows stronger, creating memories that could never be forgotten, and in the end that song was ringing in the ears of others to find the same kind of love. Once again..
Beautiful!
Beautiful!

I agree we all do have a unique perspective, to me, it's one of the things that makes life so beautiful. The Song of Solomon, they are some fantastic works aren't they and long overdue my re-reading.. I appreciate you finding a recollection of them in this and taking the time to share your experience, thank you.
