Story behind the song
A poetry reading to describe a voyage of fantasy to a field of lilacs.
Lyrics
Lilac Rhapsody
Come, release your craving spirit to inviting fantasy,
and muse in sensuous interlude on floating reverie.
While quenching Desires thirst, we shall soar upwardly
to where pleasant whispers rustle senses dreamily.
There, on ceaseless vistas one may unveil reasons eye,
and in blissful abstract leap envision azure sky.
Can you sense the cool mists and distant thunder drum
that portend refreshing showers soon sure to come?
Unite now with the graceful pantomime of clouds
which burgeon into rising turgid billowed shrouds.
Among resplendent white mantles that swell and converge
atop darkening base - we shall toward Heaven surge.
The alluring sapphired limpid bay below
reflects sunlit sky in burnished shimmered glow.
But that enraptured call of sea agleam
must be rejoined as essence of another dream.
Our phantasmagoric sensations channeled,
we drift to yonder lea, in sunlight now enameled,
wafting in rambling curve toward yon diadems
of gently swaying inquiring floral gems.
Lilacs emerge dreamily into rhapsodic view,
yielding bounteous perfume in lavish fragrant dew.
While gliding to their refracting violet tint,
inhale joyfully from the scented pastel glint.
Savoring ample verdant bush, lush in tiers aleaf,
linger now in luscious thought at the calming green motif.
There, speckled greenery like impressionist dabs of muted tones
assemble profusely to display blossoms in countless cones.
Each floral pyramid flaunts exploding swirls
of thriving white cruciform flower curls --
frail tiny stationary whirligigs
moored delicately to hidden fragile twigs.
If you succumb to these enthralling bloom arrays,
and ponder awhile at the hushed perfumed displays,
mind the random bee disinclined
to share with you its nectard find.
At last, departing hand-in-hand, we pursue wistful lastingness,
wing-and-wing sailing on idly across the deep of - nothingness.
Now, in reluctance we dismount fantasy with fulfilment fair possessed,
savoring the lingering tendrils of Ecstasy in rapture just caressed.
