Song Ethereal

In this song ethereal

I felt thy soul ascending

Blazing a luminous golden trail,

Your love and light unending.

Such beauty unseen resides in us

And joy we hardly know

A subtle unknown nucleus

Calls us to forego

All transient care and find the source

Of joy eluding thought,

The rapture free of heart's remorse

In godlike moments caught.

(Inspired by the second movement

of Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto)
