Sung Valentine

When suddenly I break out singing
Rogers & Hart or Thomas Tallis
In the great opera house of my mind
When my foolish hope
Steps out between the curtains
Of my heart and bows
To the assembled silence
Let me sing a wordless song
About the middle of the ocean
Or the middle of the earth
Before and after
The middle of love
Before and after
The middle of youth
Till you are moved
