I sang my life's song,
Sang it astride the high places and tolled it loud for all to hear,
Sang it in the black bellies of the deepest valleys; for the joy of its applauding echo,
Sang it proud to the eternal, watchful sky with all the breath in my being,
Sang it free to my own tempo and pleased the fates their whim in its lyrics,
Sang it with all my heart and with all my soul - that justb once;
For that very fleetingest of moments,

"My Song"

Might raise itself above the throng.

You're very kind - if one person is uplifted by it; it makes it worth the writing...

Thank you - your kind words are encouraging in a world where the mystic arts of the itinerant poet are not aleways best understood...
