There is a true song of the heart
Listen……
It is sung in the tongue of Angels
Unheard, except in whispers of their flight
Yet its hamony caused the darkness to depart
And the world to arise in light
Beauteous it is beyond compare
And every living creature has a part to share
In the joyous, wondrous sound
Commanded to the Seraphim, highest of the nine Angelic orders
Of which Cupid is the most renowned
Yes, Love is the eternal song,
And each star a celestial instrument
Orchestrated as they belong
To the moon’s accompaniment
Now when my beloved looks at me, and smiles so happily
I cannot but respond with love
Joining in the living song, two hearts aglow for however long
Repeated one hundred million times a day
By each lover that would the night prolong
– Irving Karchmar, 1986
Gorgeous, rich, sumptuous language and haunting layers of meaning. :)
Mashallah! I have no words to describe the beauty your words present and represent. I loved the 4th stanza. Loved it, loved it, loved it!
Sorry, its the 3rd stanza and it reminds me of some of Ibn Hazm’s verses.
sigh….
beautiful mashaallah:)
Thank you all for the kind and generous comments :)
