I wish to be a song --- a song of my soul.
A song from God's heart that makes me whole.
I wish to be a song ---
A song for all seasons and colours of nature,
A song for all times --- the past, present & future.
I wish to be a song ---
A song of the clouds and the rainbow,
A song of life and death, of pain and faith,
A song of my hopes, dreams, joy and sorrow.
The flowers will smile at me,
The rivers will dance to my tune,
The trees will merrily whisper,
All the seas and oceans will cheer.
I wish to be a song of the world and home,
A song of Mother Earth and Universe;
I wish to be a song of eternity and the Infinite,
A song of all souls in the Silence of the Divine.

- Comment from author about the poem: I think, I've always wished to be a song --- to belong to a musical reality that transcends the noise of the world. I wrote this poem during a time of deep despair and inner conflict, amidst a great deal of chaos in my worldly/external reality. In that darkness, I was desperately seeking peace and solace and then, one day, an unexpected inspiration rose from within - a whisper of a long-cherished dream: the dream of becoming a song. At least on paper, I wanted to express that longing --- to feel the oneness of existence with all and to touch the Divine by creating 'Harmony'.

Welcome to MPS🕊️🙏🏻
Thank you.
“ON THÉOPHILE GAUTHIER (1811-1872).
“(.....) In a world in which everything is impermanent, the poet, by rearranging reality into art, an create something that will have more permanent value. Such an artistic transposition is considered in detail in the notes to Gauthier's poems, particularly those on "Lacenaire." Art can thus provide the poet with a solace for his mortality while he is alive and the hope of immortality in death. (.....)”--"TWELVE FRENCH POETS. 1820-1900. AN ANTHOLOGY OF 19TH CENTURY FRENCH POETRY." London : Longmans, Green and Co., 1957. (Third impression, 1959). (With an Introduction and Notes by Douglas Parmée).

By writing poems you become part of eternity and the Infinite.

* "(.....) ”Poets are immortal, they take us to the frontier of the infinite,---- says at the very beginning James Burty David. For him, we must not think that the imaginary is disorderly, for even in this apparent disorder, there is a structured language."
* "The poet is someone subversive. For him, [J. B. David], the beginning of the poet's wisdom is precisely when he says that he is questioning himself. “The poet is subversive in the primary sense of the word, for he makes at the start an insistence on freedom. The poet is an alchemist. And poetry is, before everything else, psychoanalysis, to the extent that it dives into identity, not only social or cultural, but that of the being. That is why modern society has tried to lure us away from poetry,----" believes James Burty David. (continued in another message, as there is a limit on length here).
