Crossing the Water by Classical Glass published on 2024-03-16T11:34:45Z The composition was inspired by the poem "Crossing the Water" by the American poet Sylvia Plath (1932-1963). Crossing the Water Black lake, black boat, two black, cut-paper people. Where do the black trees go that drink here? Their shadows must cover Canada. A little light is filtering from the water flowers. Their leaves do not wish us to hurry: They are round and flat and full of dark advice. Cold worlds shake from the oar. The spirit of blackness is in us, it is in the fishes. A snag is lifting a valedictory, pale hand; Stars open among the lilies. Are you not blinded by such expressionless sirens? This is the silence of astounded souls.

Really beautiful work, Philip. 2024-03-20T20:54:53Z Comment by Pascal Sardi 🙌 2024-03-20T09:30:49Z
