it is summer
Kai Jansen performs a song by Sting
you take my hand
we sing

on and on the rain will fall
like tears from a star
like tears from a star

later I wonder
what is real? did you feel?
were you there at all?

six months pass to the day
‘everyone carefully listen,’
you say
‘how beautiful this song is
how beautiful this song is
for the first time
I have just discovered it...’

and now
it is the summer once again
you take my hand
we sing

on and on the rain will say
how fragile we are
how fragile we are

I wonder
what did you feel?
was it real?
were you there that day,
at all?

If a poem has the power to a echo an inner response then it has to have fulfilled its task. This did....
