The Yearning - Doug von Koss

[Larry Robinson]

The Yearning

Is this sonata I hear
a poem without words
or is this poem a sonata
without music

My voice says the words
my soul hears music

Could a poem be a dance
without movement
Can a painting be a song
without music

The music, the dance
the poem, the painting
their yearning for the other
is always there

“Sing me,” says the painting
“Dance me,” says the poem
“Feel me,” says the music

“Know them,” says the great mystery
Feel me in their beauty

Oh, I do, I do 
Can’t you hear me weeping
