Shafts of Sunlight

Harvest is at hand

As sun

Begins to dawn upon

The brightness

Of the day.

Wish me rainbows

In the desert

Daisies in the snow,

Sunshine every midnight

Serenity on the freeway

And to never let you go.

Then I'll know the miracle

That wishing makes

It so.

I guess I found you

The way the sunshine finds its path.

I guess I needed you

The way horizon

Needs the sky.

That day you walked

Into my world

You knew the way

As though

You were in orbit here.

It was our time.

We came once more

Into circumference.

Sweet stirring
Of the heart
Begins,
Arousing
From a dreamless sleep,
To view
The morning dawn.

The dawn

Declares itself the day

Before

The sun arises.

The circle

Comes full circle

Upon its other face.

Its race

Is infinite,

But never quite

The same each time.

It seems to move around

To settle on the commonplace.

Isn't that the wonderment of it?

The center always reaches

Its circumference

Without a stretch.

This tiny perfect circle

Proves

The universe.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

Cluster close to center,

Hover near your source

Of life

For strength and beauty.

Remain yourself,

Growing - glowing

From within.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

Life is all

That happens

In between

Attempts

To think about it.

_____© Nellieanna H. Hay

Fondly live it all,

Begrudging not

The tumble

To the top.

My panic

Has run out.

I can feel distress

But only in its moment.

Introducing this group of Italian teenagers Piero Barone (17), Ignazio Boschetto (16) and Gianluca Ginoble (16); aka Il Volo.

These talented young tenors have amazed and delighted since their debut.

According to Wikipedia: "The three pop-opera singers started their career in 2009, when they met on the second edition of the Italian RAI TV music competition show Ti lascio una canzone, held in Sanremo. On May 2, 2009, Gianluca Ginoble won the competition, singing Andrea Bocelli's "Il mare calmo deli sera". During the competition, the 3 singers were chosen to perform as a trio the Neapolitan evergreen "O Solo Mio'. After the competition, they continued to perform together under the names The Tryo, Il Trio, and finally Il Volo."

I happened to catch them on the 'Today Show' singing "Smile" and was simply enchanted. "Smile" happened to be the very first long-playing high-fidelity vinyl record I ever had, given to me in 1954. It was an instrumental but I loved the message of the lyrics. How lovely to hear it sung so beautifully by these youngsters.

I just had to feature them on a hub. What more fitting accompaniment for a hub about shafts of sunlight? Their voices and presence radiate, the epitome of musical enlightenment. I doubt if they have a poorly presented number. Hope you enjoy discovering them as much as I did and do.

The dawn is yawning

On the hill.

The still of night is gone.

Upon the breeze a bird is heard

Whistling for its young.

We've sung a song of spring before,

In clear and brilliant song

And long we've known the magic,

Tragic lift of change.

Yet now!

This time!

It's freer, better

Than the other years.

We've lived through

Joy and anguish.

We found each moment full.

Each moment brings

Its needs, fulfillments.

The moment that is

Now.
