If you’ve ever heard
The masterpiece
Entitled:
“Au Clair De La Lune”
Then you know exactly what I’m talking about.
This work of artistry
Is – beyond words.
There is no one word in the English dictionary
That can fully encompass just the amount of weight
This classical piece possesses.
But we can try!
It’s a sensation of profound nostalgia,
A feeling of yearning something you never experienced at all.
It’s a simple child bike ride, training wheels on,
Passing droopy trees and headed - towards eternity –
It’s a gust of wind that snatched your hat –
And led it to a safer place, a place where bliss lies.
It’s a sensation that everything in this world,
Will play out as the Heavens intended.
It’s a daisy out in the pouring rain, drinking of the abundant waters,
Simply saying: “Thank you for a chance to live.”
It’s a sonic experience which transcends the listener,
Into utopias of ecstasy and delight, but then again, wonder.
It’s the wondering of,
“Will I be able to ride that child bike again?”
It’s the thoughts of,
“Will everything play out like the World intended it to?”
It’s the brooding of,
“Were my parents always right, will I become somebody in this life?”
It’s the lingering, ever-lasting, persistent question,
“What will happen – in the afterlife?”
Will we reconcile and reunite lost ones?
Will we grasp intangible memories and transport them into eternity?
Will we understand the abstract and simply let our guard down?
Will we –
It’s a sensation – that is inexplicable.
It’s a bubble floating through life-sized technicolor flowers –
Surrounded by dripping and wishing and a loss in magnitude.
It’s a simple day – where everything became nothing,
And sadness slips away.
It’s a firm intimate embrace from a beloved,
Where tears are nonexistent, and love lifts its gaze –
To the clouds and frolics with the sky bees, slowly, slowly,
Drifting to a place, of unbeknown splendor.
There’s no need to fear anymore –
We are safe.
All we need is someone to be able to hold us
Like Clair de Lune does –
To be able to reach past the unlimited sky –
And become one with the coexistence.
Didn’t you know?
We were born to fly!
