Song Is Light Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

for Paul Simon, for all his beautiful music



song is light

don't weigh it down

or leave it orphaned on the ground

song is light

some may say oh that's not right

change the musical notation

say something wondrous to the nation

you may forget the reason you sang at all.

let them think small thoughts of you.

to your song be ever true

song is light song is light song is light.
