Sing

Sing! The human spirit That cries to the winds Laughs with the rain Resonate! Voices of mercy and hate Consoling the memories of our experience Again and again Vibrato! Of penetrating spirit-filled passion Reaching from the innermost soul Breaking the silence like thunder Tremulous! Emanation of intrinsic wisdom Sonorous to emulating Our innermost identity Overtones! Cascading on the ears of gratitude I sing fire and ice Its mood and elation awakens us Timbre! More divine than nature in its greatest reverence A heart of tears - a smile of joy Captures the divinity of its language Harmonic! That all understand Absorbing the beauty with the cantor of genius Striking deeply in our thoughts Serenade! "I know this so utterly... The hearts interpretation of our common kinship... Our human condition liberated in song!" Sing! January 4, 2020 Sing It Poetry Contest Sponsored by Nina Parmenter
