Letter Song

From being stewed here Together in life's spiced pot We begin to share The orthographic phoneme But i think still more germaine Origin of dust Denominator common Yet with meaning lost Until the grave dust us, we Single note in time's hist'ry When the pot begins To sing again, blending us Soul and mission sweet Single soup of harmony Stirring tastebuds to exult All consonants one All vowels an accent change All emotions merged For we feel and die as man We live but as creation Let need arrange us Into semantic desire Love is motion in fire The candle burning to deliver Giver singing for lover ii D for dream I choose Recluse imagination shines Emitting echoes Ancestral harmony sweet Meaning in song, dance in feet.
