Notes About The Poem

[Note from Jon Corelis: after writing this poem I decided to use it as lyrics for a song of my own composition. It hasn't gotten performed yet, but the software generated demo audio file (using "ah" sounds for the vocal, since I don't have a decent voice simulator,) on YouTube will give some idea of what a performance would sound like.]

Sunchild



The hunter flies 
through the winter skies 
so clear. 

The baby lies 
asleep and wise 
so dear. 

The morning’s daughters have come to bring
where the star stands
sweetness, power, and suffering 
in their bright hands. 

The soft snows keep 
the earth asleep: 
sunrise is near.
