Performed by the Concert choir and Men's Auxiliary ensembles of the girl choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. Stars that spill on a melting stem of brilliance down to earth, make landfall here like swans who are burnt by flight. We find an orphan of ashes, a child of chilled obsidian: in the middle of winter we nurture the seeds of stars. On days of silver light at the end of summer, they’ll lift away to resume their long migration. You who’ve been told there’s nothing, nothing to be done, you who have come to a place of broken stones, remember us who have sparked a star from dust, and seen its wings ignite the darkling sky.  ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

Today, this spring Is time for walking on the soft earth in sounds that sweeten the air And reach beyond the long dark sleep; For sun to warm the cheek, And quicken breath; A time to shed the griefs That brown the spirit of beginning; To trust the restless energy Demanding space and speak of life, My own, which recreates itself in you.  ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
