The music beckoned to me
To go
So I went
In search of what
I cannot be sure
But, when I came to rest
Deep within the soul
Of my own belonging
I looked down to my feet
Planted firmly upon the sturdy ground
And what to my enchantment
Did I find there….
…but an ancient,
primeval forest…
A wildness beyond my imagining
As near as my touch…
It contained its own bewildering completion
Before it would ever even begin
I am mesmerized
As I leave it behind me
Will it stay there
Where I first found it
Or will it travel farther than far
To become all that it was meant to be
The music beckons to me
To go on
So I go
Wondering as I do
At how many moments in a day
Hold the vast possibility of everything
Yet, we move too quickly
To know they are there
I see a primeval forest
At home in the depths of your gaze
I see an ancient universe
Dance in the sparkle of your smile
In the heart of every moment
Eternity is hoping
To become the love story
That it was always meant to be…

Listening to Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony
I love the pastoral symphony. I always see centaurs and pegasus when I hear it though. It’s from watching Disney’s Fantasia.
Lovely poem.

I like the full name “Pastoral Symphony, or Recollections of Country Life.” I think it’s the ‘Country Life’ part that dovestails so neatly with your lovely poem.

It is a beautiful name. Can’t you just see him walking through the countryside taking inspiration from what was nearby. Thank you so very much. 😌🌷

Beautiful poem.
My dad used to sit me down on the floor in front of the gramaphone and let me listen to classical music, the Pastoral was one of those I loved then and still do.
