A SOUND SO PURE
So certain and sure
A life free of strife
A life that sings
No pulling at the strings
Free of everything
Its sounds so right
It sounds so bright
My heart all a flutter
The petals all in a flurry
Never in a hurry
My heart rhythmic
Full of music
Softly swaying
Playing
The rhythm and rhyme
So sublime
That’s yours and mine
I hear your tune so gently
So softly
There amongst the orchestra playing
You are sat alone, but not alone
Your harp of many strings
A harp sharpened, tuned and honed
The orchestra members begin their gazing
The room so hazy, hazy, hazy
They stare, they glare!
But I never care!
We know the symphony
We need no sympathy
Harper, Harper the orchestras Harpist
Your strings so honed for the next entrance
Harper, Harper, we await your mesmerizing sweet tones
Your mesmerized face tuned and toned
You look my way, oh that special way
That says
“Hey my love”
“There is nothing to fear”
“Never shed a tear”
“I am here”
“Follow the notes, both high and low”
“My precious violinist”
I’m at the ready, yet not steady
Orchestral leader, baton in his hand
Poised and at the ready
He looks at us all
He smiles
His smile always has us reassured
He looks my way
I feel the swaying once again
His whispering voice
Oh now I have no choice
The time is the here and now!
I take a gentle bow
Towards the waiting audience
All I see are mesmerized faces
Waiting, waiting
In anticipation
Oh Harper, Harper
Time to face my fears
No tears
My first ever solo performance
Oh Harper, Oh Harper
Could this be forever after?
You strike your chords
My cue, my cue
Especially for you
All for you
Oh this is surely going to be
A Sound So Pure
