The Rose In The Song

for Mary Chapin Carpenter, her music


the dew on the rose in the song I heard

the parting of the clouds

the light through the harp that was rippling sound

was mine alone in the deafening crowd.

the song of birds has infused my soul

in a dark time, not a time of gold

the rose in the song is living still

though the road I climb is ever uphill.
