This the blog of a would-be poet. As often as I am able, I will post a new poem. I may post sonnets, Haiku, other forms of poetry, and also free verse. Along with each poem, I will post the piece of music from which I drew inspiration. I would make the request that you start the music before you begin reading the poem. Music and Poetry are so closely tied, I believe they are best experienced together, and I encourage you to listen and read at the same time.

Santonym
Things are not always as they seem.
Friendship is the sincerest in silence;
The greenest grass is under your feet.
Winter marks your warmest months;
West is up and also down;
There is no northern wind.
The best book written is still unread,
The most honest harmony unheard.
Delight is sought in the brink of sorrows;
Tears are sweet, smiles are heard;
There is no northern wind.
The Sky is a lover of Moon and of Son;
A Child is the most cherished priest.
The canyons are valleys that cannot be stored;
Darkness is darkness, Light is light;
And still no northern wind.
