Descant

Descant

A counterpoint in harmony

A rhythm of the heart

You can’t pair a bass with a soprano

Or a contralto with a tenor

The harmonies must match

Then soar together to new heights

So too must souls match

Their jagged edges must meet

They fit together perfectly

But sometimes what is needed

Is a descant

That perfect little melody

That runs overtop of the song

Turns it inside out

But makes it so much better

Changes it all around

But the combination

Is beautiful

Everyday Things

That little joy and laughter

It helps to make it better

It’s the simple things

That help give love wings

Sharing in the break of day

Watching you quietly lay

The peaceful hum of the daily grind

Watching you as you unwind

Living life together is bliss

Without you I’d surely miss

The little everyday things

That make my heart sing

Nothingness

No matter how much… I want

How much… I can feel

How… I can almost taste

It doesn’t matter

It is immaterial

A passing sensation

A momentary distraction

We all pass into nothingness

Should we try to overcome?

Try to surpass?

Try to better ourselves?

Whether we want to or not

We desire

We can feel

We do taste

We return to matter

We improve the material

Enjoy the sensations

Prolong the distractions

Before we become the nothingness
