G. Jay Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

From my poem "constellations", " My apologies" and Robert Frost "The Road Not Taken," 1916. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Constellations, lyrics

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could

Apologies for the opprobrious actions that have been brought             
For Thee, who descended from the exalted throne of Camelot                
Patiently guiding and reminiscing of what has been forgot                             
My constituent tactics will forevermore be at naught              
Ruminating and beholding rain for a garden's flowerpot
For introducing a valueless and unfruitful counter-plot          
 
A creature built from the dust of stars
By light: strength, life, an avatar
Climbing the ladder of time
Dancing to wintertime      
Embrace beautify                  
Firefly goodbye      
Gently fly
Here is
I

Being barren soil, like that of a sunspot
Spoken before the veil and the unseen
 I sought a new thought
The morning rays stirred disarray in me
A weighty, stern admonished plea
For leaning toward the harder way
Eons An Augenblick, to You I pray
Let this seed in Your orchard stay

A creature built from the dust of stars
By light: strength, life, an avatar
Climbing the ladder of time
Dancing to wintertime      
Embrace beautify                  
Firefly goodbye      
Gently fly
Here is
I

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could

A creature built from the dust of stars
By light: strength, life, an avatar
Climbing the ladder of time
Dancing to wintertime      
Embrace beautify                  
Firefly goodbye      
Gently fly
Here is
I
