Its Heartbeat Stilled

I'm in love; everything's going my way The sun is shining; it's a beautiful day The forest's a-twitter, birds chirping with glee All of Nature's beaming rainbows at me The wind breathes softly Leaves flutter in the breeze Gentle waves roll 'cross meadows Deep-blue the seas: The world's at ease... Alas and alack! In the air's felt a chill Spring's rose has wilted; its heartbeat stilled Heaven's founts have opened; a deluge's come down Summer's retreated, vanquished and drowned My passion ascendant, once mirrored skies above ~ Its flames now extinguished, mere embers of Love

Hi Gershon, I loved the content within this write. I love the way you sang this piece. Love can be such a great joy, yet also, such a deep sorrow. Spring can turn to Autumn, then Winter. I love the way you used nature to sing the emotions. A fave. Have a wonderful Thursday. Your friend....Mike.
