(Part 1: Introduction to the Precursor to the Preface)
Cosmical simplicity
even as things merge into intricate designs
and ways of life
With the interdependencies;
birds upon insects
leaves upon roots
the grass upon the land
And the dependency of all
upon the sun and the winds
Alone
each thing
is the very essence of simplicity
A drop of water
out to embrace transparency
A strand of soldier's silk
with its diversity and strength
A tiny seed
that holds within it, life
Simplicity
the manifestation of a miracle
(Part 2: The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back)
There is stood,
a great tree
reaching
Suddenly dark clouds formed,
lighting flashed,
the life of the tree was shattered
The storm has spent its fury
and disentegrated; leaving no clue
as to why this tree was struck
In its wake, many life must adjust
to that one moment
when lighting flashed
and a tree fell
The birds that built nests in its limbs
The insects that lived on its leaves
and in turn pollinated its blossoms
The flowers that grew in its shade
the owl that used it as a perch
to survey the countryside
The earthworms that lived in the soil
and kept air around its roots
Even its natural enemies will know its loss...
(Part 3: Not So Long Ago)
Close to the Earth,
the grasses grow
Beyond the grasses,
the flowers
Higher than these,
the trees shall rise
Birds soar into the clouds beyond
Beyond the clouds
the sky is blue
and there are stas
beyond...
Each life is beautiful within its sphere
yet
ever and ever
there is something
beyond...

This strikes me as more Poem than Song Lyrics.As a poem it works,as song lyrics.............I'll leave that to others to Reply.Maybe Pink Floydish or something in that vain?I'm not an expert in that type of rock,maybe is that what you were shooting for?

To me this, too, is a beautiful, very meaningful poem. I do not hear music with it. As I read lyrics for some songs, I can "hear" music at the same time.
However, the proof is in the music. This has been demonstrated to me by ATL member RobberBaron!

This is fascinating! Moon posted a song sometime last week that your lyrics brought to my mind, i don' t have a link but i'm sure that if search youtube for Soma Holiday you could find it easily. The lyrics in that are spoken but nonetheless it's a song and a very good one i would say.
Music is what feelings sound like
Listen to the Love

Hi PointZero, I don´t know if this could be a song, but I´m sure that as poem is a beautiful poem, and I´m sure that if someone could make music to these lyrics it would be a so deep meaningful poetical song. Congratulations, this work captures the attention from the title, is difficult sometimes to think that the enormous, maybe infinite cosmos is so simple, but you let us see that it´s so.

The right musician could perform it. Are you that musician, PointZero? As I said, RobberBaron has put some unusual lyrics with good music to make some impressive songs! So I'd never say it could only be a poem! I learned that from him.
