Ye now are sorrowful I mourn the dead Always mourning the dead I bow before the hardened ground I shed a tear, and then another For those who can’t And those who won’t Shed a tear for me But ye shall again behold me And your heart shall be joyful I open my eyes and look to the sky The darkened tone turn lighter Oh, so slightly lighter Shadows of a dawn to come But to come in a far distant day And your joy no man taketh from you Hope? No… no… that died I mourn for hope as well Look upon me I venture a glance Ye know that for a little time Labor and sorrow were mine Yes, yes Many mourned as I do I’m not the first to suffer loss Even the Greatest wept… But at the last I have found comfort I dry my eyes I make myself stand I mourn no more over dusty graves Over images and models of lost things Ye shall again behold me For the true things shall rise Not today, but someday I shall hold them again They shall be mine I shall be theirs Shall behold me And I shall see them again Shall behold me ** Italics from Brahms "German Requiem" which is, in turn, from the King James Version of the Bible.

You know I envy your ability to take the inspiration from music and pen it... I have tried and just can't do it quite like you can. You wove your natural talent into the Brahms piece beautifully, and I admire your ability to do that. I love how you take a situation of great weakness and turn it into a message of renewed hope. What a powerful piece, Erica. You should freestyle more often. Brian |

Thankee much for the reply! Music and poetry aren't much seperated in my mind... although one is, to me, superior than the other  Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.--Jesus Christ |
