Since December, 1976, Waiting For This

The beginning, and first few words, of the final stanza 

of Frampton's.  Baby I Love Your Way

the piano and bassoon in duet sharing the main theme 

of the Second Movement of Chopin's Second Piano Concerto:

 

at these points, the whole cosmos seems to pause to listen

(despite the toxic noise of our incorporated world). 

Hearing these parts, repeatedly, I seem to envision 

stars emerging from distant, glowing nebulae 

that glow to be received by my Lady's eyes, 

or to play, in delicate adoration, beneath her stockinged feet.

 

ENVOI:

 

When I can receive such signs as they are,

and not as this broken world defines them to be,

then the light of that Bright and Morning Star

will have fully illuminated my poetry.

 

 

Starward

 

 

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The Envoi is based upon Revelation 22:16
