If a song doesn't touch
you as the wind
in a breathe of dawn,
if a song doesn't bring
you to tears, if a song
doesn't make you want to
float across the water as the
glide of the wings of a seagull
against and with the sea,
if a song doesn't make you
want to dance in the starlight rain,
to close your eyes and hear the
leaves shivering to the light
of the sun in the secret garden
of soul, then what is the reason
of a song?
