Psalm

[stormfan]

The word psalms is derived from the Greek ψαλμοί (psalmoi), originally meaning "songs sung to a harp"



but often it happens you know
that the things you don’t trust are the ones you need most
so it's cautiously into the dark
but you see before long that your eyes will adjust

and under the night you can hear
the full moon rise like a psalm in the air
and the air
goes
into your lungs
and around in your heart and on through your blood
it goes cautiously into the dark
and you see before long that we all have a part
and under your skin you can feel
that the fear that you feel is what will set you free

and under the night you can hear
the full moon rise like a psalm in the air
and the air
goes
into your lungs

Lovely photo, Brian -- the textures are wonderful, and I love the contrast between sparkly and matte. Thanks for including the poem, too -- I love the thought of hearing the full moon rise like a psalm in the air.

Thanks everyone. I give my wife credit for the set up. I'll post her entire creation tomorrow.

The words that accompany the photograph are taken from a song called, ironically, Psalm.
A Canadian band called, "Hey Rosetta" is responsible for the lyrics. Their song is quite beautiful - just a single vocal and piano. I invite you to check it out on YouTube.
