VOICE FROM YONDER
The VOICE from SPACE, soft and clear,
Permeates my soul to imbue my being
With a light, thin at first, then
Evermore dazzling…

SILENCE
Within myself, and perhaps
Deep in the heart of each of us,
And unfathomed silence…

WELCOME
THEY come from the vastness of SPACE,
Clad in the glory of Cosmic colors.
THEY begin to dance, and THEIR Voices
Are borne on the ceaseless winds.

TRAVELERS
We sojourn together, over all the earth,
We set out in ships, hoisting our sails.
We listen to the murmering forest
Or feel the beat of the waves
Throbbing in the background of our music.

IT'S TIME
And now it is time for THEM to leave.
The hour of parting draws nigh.
The music seems unending, as if
Resounding through the boundless skies.

FAREWELL
THEY bid us farewell, and the
Sorrow of parting engulfs our hearts.
And as THEY fade into the VOID,
THEY leave a warmth that,
Like a flame, leaves a glow
where once we played.
