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
