Your Spirit To Claim

The words in the melody

the words on the page

 

Related but different

the Minstrel and Sage

 

The music recaptures

what ink only starts

 

As harmony sings

from an angelic heart

 

A phrase and a lyric

as cousins relate

 

Too distant for brothers

too close in their fate

 

One soul with two masters

each fighting to gain

 

Your soul ever after

—your spirit to claim

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2018)
