... And songbirds came
in all shapes, sizes, and colors;
perfection comes
in the expression
of their unique song.
in all shapes, sizes, and colors;
perfection comes
in the expression
of their unique song.
Julian sang ex-votos
from his perch a-top
New York City.
He told subatomic stories
of lost causes
with great needs.
You could feel
them with at least
thirteen senses,
as his melodies
carried you along
the paths of
faceless nobodies,
drops in oceans,
who didn't know
they were the whole.
of lost causes
with great needs.

Through Julian's song
You faded into We,
they faded into Me.
Things only
got better slowly,
and only for those
who had no choice
but to sing.

ReplyDelete"subatomic stories/of lost causes"--excellent! I love the ending especially, but the whole thing is just lovely. Nice!
ReplyDeleteSensory and serene, with some fine descriptives - I agree with Ami, "subatomic stories/of lost causes" was an absolutely beautiful line. It was great to read this while listening to the musical tones of the video as well. Complimented one another nicely.
