Arise! Oh dear soul, the night is over. The stormy seas have lost their power, The lark ascending beholds green pastures.
Morning calls, incense rises from the bower. This wandering heart has found her shelter. Arise! Oh dear soul, the night is over.
Hear! Dreams of darkness never would conquer a soul wholly given to her Maker. The lark ascending beholds green pastures
where fair flowers stretch on to forever and thorns bring comfort instead of torture. Arise! Oh dear soul, the night is over.
Cry no more, your question found its answer ever clear, ever true, will never waver. The lark ascending beholds green pastures -
nestled in the bosom of her Master she attains the fullness she’s been after. Arise! Oh dear soul, the night is over. The lark ascending beholds green pastures.
“Your challenge today is to choose a piece ofinstrumental music (no songs, but I am happy for you to choose a piece of jazz or instrumental rock if you don’t like classical music) that speaks to you, and write a poem either about the piece, including information about its composer and content, or whatever it conjures in your head. If possible, add a link to the piece of music. Here is a selection of poems about music:”
As the title suggested, my poem is inspired by Meditation from Thais, the interlude for the opera, Thais. The opera is about the conversion of the beautiful courtesan, Thais, through the efforts of a monk, Athanael. For more information about the opera, please click here.

The day is done
her shift is over
she treads the path
in the edge of twilight
she lets fall her mask
unburdens her load
finds herself -
bare, unadorned,
light -
like a dandelion seed
she soars
towards the love of her soul.

Linking with DVERSE POETS PUB's Quadrille #172 - "Shift"
Deer frolic in the yard turkey feast on the fruits of the vine all their fear gone
The grass may now grow seeds could now rise to the heavens whenever and wherever they please
No more are the eyes watching the buttercup fill up with rain No more are the hands anxiously tending the garden
The sundial waits in my shadow as I, myself, am veiled with the shroud of night My walls shiver at the grandfather clock - tolling another mourning hour.
