To life we arrive,
Learning the wonder of all,
Life’s experience
Showing us the path we need,
Towards our eternity.

- Comment from author about the poem: This is a tanka, the format is 5-7-5-7-7 syllables. The Music is one of the finest pieces that Gustav Mahler wrote and this one is sung by THE GREATEST alto singer of all time Kathleen Ferrier, I do not have many specific favourites in music but she, in my humble opinion, was the greatest singer of all, sadly lost to us in 1953 aged only 41. This is the last section of Das Lied von der Erde and I heard a comment once that that listener could imagine the last words, "Ewig, Ewig" would be travelling the ether for eternity - so can I.

A fine wise write Gold. Pity I took the wrong path in 1066. I mucked everything up! lol.
Thanks ANDY for a double BLESSING ~ MAHLER & FERRIER ~ Perfect harmony and a fave of my Parents ~ May DAD rates Ferrier the best (such depth ~ such pathos !). My DUET today is DEAN & NANCY with "Things" please check my POEM ! There is also a classic on my NEW FUSION on Animals "APACHE" by the One & Only Shadows ~ enjoy ! Love your TANKA ~ Half FULL rather than HALF EMPTY ~ Yours as always BRIAN
