This is a poem set to music. How well... You be the judge!
Story behind the song
This poem was posted in the Artist's cafe at the Muses Muse. I loved the grandeur and mystery of it and Ted graciously allowed me to try setting it to music
Lyrics
Blue beyond imagination sky
pulls past screen and shutter
through green lace of new
mesquite leaves spring weaving
ever tighter sunray nets
cast in the marine.
I am drawn through cerulean become
indigo and further
realms of unnamable blue.
Once in never breath ceases
was it ever? or merely
suspended in beat of galaxies
borning in nebulae serenely violet.
