Harmony

Harmony Where are you, oh Harmony, Daughter of Mars and daughter of Venus? Where shall I look for you? In the enclosure of a serene Harbor, Or in the open tempestuous Sea? Under the bright sun of a Spring’s Day, Or beneath the dark sky of a stormy Night? The tormenting echo of your parents’ Struggle, In my divided heart I constantly Sense: Fearing the one, loving the Other. Save me, oh divine Harmony, from Anguish, Come, beloved one, I beg You! Come, my bewildered soul to Pacify! © Demetrios Trifiatis 12 August 2012

What inspired you to write this? I detect a conflict in things in your life and you are seeking a compromise. We all live in duality with two competing paths in front of us. One is good (God) and the other is evil (devil). Who will win out. Hopefully, God of course. Have you heard from Aileen lately? Jim Horn Demetrious Montsanides was a friend I once knew. Does that have any meaning in Greek?

I was speaking to Dan on harmony today and I started thinking of the same things as I did on his work. This piece is beautiful by the way. I look at harmony from a musical perspective often... -to be continued-

I told Dan that harmony is nice..it is relied upon and treasured... but the sound..the very essence of dissonance can, for some people be appealing. I think harmony is fulsome. Dissonance, or chaos--the stuff that some people feed upon is often appealing..but NEVER fulfilling...harmony feels so great. I respect this write. Always, Laura
