song of songs

there is a song

a larynx burr

that comes before the song itself

 

there is a tremor
anticipation
that comes before delight

 

there was a song
light and particles

at the root chord of time

 

there is a song

of songs

 

quietly wating
ripples unwarbling 

as I swallow

I like your poem. I sing and can sometimes feel the song before it voices. you have written of that sense very well, Katerina; much better than I. Thanks for this.

Very beautiful poem,
so full of meaning and metaphor.

A song to the soul, indeed.

Thanks for sharing.
