They bid anon I follow
their timbre richly fraught,
begged I trace enchantment
through each sound my pulse I sought.
The Beginning that was word
‘twas there I traced and found
a love that surpassed wine
sung by Song of Solomon;
verses nigh as breath or touch
whispered to his Beloved,
spent did he, his heart on words
and these resound through time.

Rich with feeling and the senses, excellent literary allusion, reminder of the timelessness of wisdom of the heart.
