This Is It (A Poem)











The music swirls skyward toward a chorus of angels.

How describe the effect? Rushing rivers of radiance,

fluttering ivories and a gentle percussion

provide accompaniment as the angel chorus re-emerges

to usher in a new age.


A voice, in a foreign tongue, murmurs 

an ethereal song transcending understanding 

while quickening the heart.


You were so far ahead of me. You knew the terrain.

I'd never been there.


A lilting passage beckons, featuring piano and clarinet, 

but what did I hear in the distance, in the darkness

beyond the campfire?
