Questing, Searching~
*By Fapral, True Knight, dm, and others
~
The path to misic is cloudy, yet clear
How can you not find it,
The beat of your heart, or in the time of your step?
In the quest for a melody, a group of souls go searching.
~
He sits on death row, comdemned to die,
Playing tag with his thoughts, never knowing "who's it."
As his brain records the chase, it sounds in his ears.
Does he ever hear the world's normal rythmn, or the beat of a normal soul?
~
The answer is not a hero, but a hunter
He kills only when he must, a tear in his heart.
Always with reverence, with honor,
The wolf pricks his ears. Is someone coming?
~
From behind a tree comes a poet
Without means enough to express her heart
Picking up a pen, words fall short of the river
Can she find the means in the music of a song?
~
The means are in a Trabador, A musician of many talents.
His lyrics come from the world around him, a world of many faces
But, the words are lost, as is the rythmns he seeks
Will he find either again?
~
Hiding among the stars, she's called only wife and mother
Her identity is stifled, feeding theirs
Her archaic occupation, riduculed and fuel for jokes
Does the melody of her love sing stronger than the jokes?
~
Oh wonderous Child, full of innocence and light
Condemned to die before your birth, join the quest.
Though the heart is stilled, Your soul can walk.
Hand in hand with those who appreciate the "Circle of Life."
~
Mad man, hunter, poet, musician, sorceress, and child angel
We need to share your steps as on your quest you go.
As we understand your music, so we know the answers.
Listen to each other, as each has melody, rythmn, and harmony.


Commentary:
as one of the "other" who contributed to this, why ask for our words when you change them to suit yourself, you changed several stanzas---so credit yourself

My apoligies. All I was trying to do, was sew in a couple more pieces. Fapral

sorry too, my girlfriend and i got in a major fight today and i am in a nasty mood-tired of being misunderstood-vented on you-was wrong
-------
that's ok. Did you like it?

-------
yes i do-hard to imagine a world in harmony-would be an astonishing place to live-i'd settle for harmony with one certain person at this place in time-got a good song?
-------
A certain ugly footstep shows up in every elegant scene of beauty. May the angels of mercy keep up us several steps ahead of that ugly footstep. = Caramba
-------
....... I can hear the heart beat of the universe, as the song that we sing goes out and comes back to us a thousandfold more wonderfull, full of power, full of God... Thankyou for your poem...
The one you need to find harmony with is yourself, then you shall be at peace with all souls...
A little too esoteric... Rainbow
