Time of Reflection: Part 2

Cacophony Number One: Heart Song
(written somewhere between 1993-1995 by Tony H.)

SOPRANO

no one understands
how could they?

yet how is it that we
are able to hide
the Sun?

are we that blind?
or have we just learned
to shame the
Great Wall?

one was brave
taking up his chisel
a chip from
the Wall

but with his one blow
a breech was born
a glimpse of the mountain that
reigns beyond

will we just place
another brick in
the Wall?

ALTO

isn't it frustrating?
do they see can they hear

the roaring waterfall

springing from the mountain

rushing to offer itself

only to be damned by
the Wall?

TENOR

the Passion burns within
and yet only flickers are seen
a silly laugh a common meal
words shared...barely
hug and holy kiss...rarely
we await the hour
when the Lord in His day
fans the flickers into flames
an unhidden passion that will incinerate
the Walls
as we share in the love
the Perfect
Love of God.

BASS

i can't always say it
i don't always try
i thank my brother
for saying it so well
the Passion i have
i through Christ have for you

You my brother

You my sister

all my beloved

and though we may be apart
in body or spirit
know that we are
One
in Him.

CHORUS

the most harlotted word
the most sacred word
i share all its holiness
with you

I Love You.
