Must It Be So?

[ShadowFire]

Must It Be So?

Call to me oh Night
Speak to me oh Star
Sing to me oh Moon
Whisper to me oh Wind

I hear you not
Does not anyone hear?
Why do I deafen so?


Hold me oh Night
Touch me oh Star
Grasp me oh Moon
Caress me oh Wind

I feel you not
Does not anyone feel?
Why do I numb so?


Stare at me oh Night
Gaze at me oh Star
Glance at me oh Moon
Look at me oh Wind

I see you not
Does not anyone see?
Why do I blind so?

"Muss es sein? Ya, muss es sein."
Beethoven wrote this in the score of his Quartet 16, opus 135. Given the setting and the person, it is one of the greatest affirmations in history.

i really like this one, as if removed from the most beautiful things in (or around ) our world.
i really want to rant about this one, but in all honesty my words fail me on this one.
i think i`ll go enjoy the stars tonight, thanks for the reminder that the world is a beautiful place.:thumbs_up

Please excuse my fussing, but Beethoven's response to his own question was actually Es muss sein!

Not at all, I was relying on my memory, which is by no means infallible; I should have verified it. Mea Culpa.

Marvelous. A mute communication with nature.
