The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Song of Morning


Recommended Posts

Drums beat the sound of morning,

Red sun rises over bird-cry warning,

Black arms silhouetted against the sky,

Feet stamp on earth rich and dry.

 

Dance the dance of growth and summoning,

Forth the sun with songs we bring,

Cries of love and life from parted lips,

Not a head nods, not a foot trips.

 

Another day begins, another life is born,

The sun rises high and forlorn,

No tears shed, raise chin high,

Show your life with each joyful cry.

 

Up she comes, awake, awake!

Live along for life's dear sake,

Sister Sun and Brother Moon,

Drift along at opposite scorn.

 

Down goes Moon, and Up comes Sun,

Give us strength to work and run,

As the elk and tiger play,

Come and light this brand new day.

Wow - that is absolutely beautiful.

 

My eye got watery. Just one.

 

I was starting to think of tunes and melodies to put to it. You could turn that into a beautiful song! I might play around with it and get back to you and offer you some melody. or! if you already have a melody to it I'd be dying to hear it if there's some way you can share.

Actually, yes, I did write it to a song called "The Tarara Women's Work Song" from Princess Mononoke. That's kind of the tune I imagine it going to-- you may be able to find it on a music website called Imeem.com or if not I found it on Gendou.com

 

I'm so glad you guys liked it ^_^
