Yesterday, there was this poem, which is still very rough, but at least close to the shape it will end up--not true of the two previous drafts:
Contrast of Spiritwhich is inspired by angel/fallen angel imagery, though by no means sating my hunger to deal in that theme.
And today there was the completion of this lyric:
November Storm
Sharp, black wings
I can see you spreading
Frail curved flight
I can see you drifting
--Aloft in the storm
Silver sky--the world is a colorless wonder
Folding air--the clouds are a silken train
Sharp, black wings
I can see you spreading
Frail curved flight
I can see you drifting
--Aloft in the storm
Jagged trees--barbed branches whip and creak
Dried, bare stalks--fields skeletal with weeds
_The earth is ancient and I sense my own bones
_The roads are bleak and I know I'm not home
_The coming rain will chill my heart, my soul
_But one stray bird has made it worth the storm
Sharp, black wings
I can see you spreading
Frail curved flight
I can see you drifting
--Aloft in the storm
~
Can't wait until this song and
Night Train are ready, and I can make people listen to them. >D
