-- A New Kind of Life --

by John Herlihy

 

A new kind of life

Waiting to be born

New music on a fife

Out of eternity torn

 

A bud then a flower

Drawn out of a seed

With primitive power

Found in human need

 

The desert of the heart

Harbors an ancient well

Spring waters to impart

A riveting story to retell

 

Learned to be the same

In truth we are different

To live by another name

Never to be indifferent

 

So let the melody play

New journey, new way

A renewed kind of life

New music from a fife

Musci, not instrumental noise, should be a part of everyone's diet. Far too many remain knowledgeable of teen sounds their whole lives. Thank you for the reminder of sounds that nurture the being into more constructive thought and feeling.

Indeed we are all different and blessed to be so. Wonderful poem, John.

Melodic and ushering in the possibility of a fresh, original idea.

It is probably true that everything of any value has already been written. So coming up with something original and new is truly difficult these days.
