Hear the song on the wind,
Whispering gently through your mind.
The music is without words,
For mere words cannot express such joy.
There is no set tune,
There is only an ever-changing refrain.
Off in the distance burn torches,
Pinpoints in the dark night.
In their glow lies hope,
And in hope lies the future of humanity.
The song comes to you once more,
Lifting your spirits beyond finite flesh
And into something more permanent.
The ever-changing song remains the same,
ANd the joy of life lilts across the land.

Exquisite poetry! Deep and so lovely. Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

I'm glad you all enjoyed it. It's one of my few "happy" poems, or rather, one of the few poems where there's no sarcasm, cynicism, or satire. All quite unusual in my work.
