Life is a Circle was written for the Salt Lake Vocal Artists and had its official world premiere at the symposium. Life is a Circle By Black Elk ~ Oglala Sioux ~1863-1950 Everything the power of the world does, is done in a circle. The sky is round and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind in its' greatest power whirls. Birds make their nests in circles; for their's is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing and always come back to where they were. The Life of a man is a circle, from childhood to childhood. and so it is with everything where power moves.  less

NOON I look into the sky, Where cirrus clouds collide, Laze in the summer light, While the breeze talks to me. EVENING A time for rose-red thought, Long shadows casting, Memories fleeting, Fading and fraught. DUSK Dusk is for grieving, And for private tears. Perhaps for believing Despite what we fear. © S N Solomons June 16th 2009  less
