Space in music is time,
time passing silently.
A rest in music is a bridge
between riverbanks of melody.
Here, in the heart of this song,
here, in this space of time,
here, we've come
to the shore of a sea.
Go on singing your song
silently within yourself
like a bridge at night,
yearning, empty, ready to bear,
till your music begins
singing in the waking world,
till it starts again
on the other shore.
THE DANCE
I make my way
home in the dark,
dancing the stars
through the treetops,
It is clear. It is
worth a lifetime
of dancing to get
this dance right.
Some may say
these are awkward
steps, just stumbling,
tripping and falling....
But I keep one foot
in my everyday life,
the other in dreams--
and I dance.
Lazlo Slomovits, Ann Arbor
