The Solitude of Love

What does the solitary rose

of the desert know

more than the dozen of her kind that

grow in tender care

softly kissed by the sweet dews of night ?

what does the fragile bird sing

when wings are spread

before the day has dawned. . .?

what does the small fish dream

when tossed below the violent waves

lashed by the hungry storm?

And does the desolate star 

hidden behind heavy clouds

shine less brightly than his brothers

who rage in splendid glory

across a bottomless sky?

Is there passion in the moment

is there glory in the night, while

a dream, a wisp of something,

rises up like misty visions

from the lonely dreaming soul

turning slowly in restless sleep?

for desolate grows the night

of that solitary soul

clinging to the slender vine

where deep are the shadows that linger

draping the wall dividing the worlds

of despair and joy . . .

and sweet desire, the soul that holds to

 compassion and self-control while

awaiting the glory of

a momentary flight

that rises on wings to soar

into the sunlit blue. . .

and give away

what it retains . .. 

of peace and love and hope . .. .

 

Review for: "Winter in Tenochtitlan" by ETHNICO

 This was very nicely composed music . . . exceptionally creative and filling my listening spaces with the harmonious melodies of ancient tales and wistful dreams . ..  the music lifted me and gave me wings to fly . . . resting above the storm in quietude and  peace . .. .

The percussions were vividly drawn and the instruments chosen to paint the songs were used with perfection.
