Description:
I've just started a new project, putting my poetry to music. If I compile the best into a CD, I'll call it "Poetry in Notion... " Is that funny? Or does it look like a typo~! Haha!

Anyway, this is sad, yet hopeful, so... hope you like it!

Stacey

Lyrics:
"REMISSION"
Stacey K. Black

Power words, flower words
good-for-at-least-an-hour words
hope generated by those syllables
perishable and billable
don't forget to make your co-payment.

Funny days, money days
don't-we-deserve-some-sunny days?
Laughter eases aches and pains
comfort strains, fortune drains
don't forget to update your will.

Worried tears, flurried tears
hope-no-one-is-watching-buried tears
humor grotesquely transmogrified
horrified, and mortified
don't forget to swallow your pharmacopeia.

Happy thoughts, sappy thoughts
sleepless-in-the-deep-night-crappy thoughts
amazing each new rising moon
another noon, please, one more June
don't forget to savor every sunrise.

Blinding hope, grinding hope
no-harm-in-thinking-the-best-finding hope
cheerfully joyously dancing for grace
join the race, sanguine face
don't forget to seize your life.

-for my cutest little mommy
1944 - 2002

I don't want to make this about "me" but it's your post here that brings
it all back like it was yesterday... you eloquently touch on all that we
went through, loosing my wifes mother... How could it possibly have
been "her time"... If I came up wu=ith a lyric this good I think I would
also try it in song form instead of poetry... just because songs usually
reach more people and this lyric is soo soo good... this is not a nit
pic...it's just I would be jealous over something this well stated and I
can really hear how this would work in song

Really? I tried and everything I came up with, just sounded trite to my ears. Like I
was trying too hard to make it poignant. Something like that. If you have any
ideas, I'd be glad to hear them!

Oh, by the way, thanks so much for the great comments. Sorry about your
mother in law. God, nothing is harder.

Okay, thanks Scott!

put your guitar away and just sing it until it works...than go find what you
sang on guitar(or keys)... the great thing about this approach is... you might
come up with something very different

Thanks Scott.

this... what a great piece this is.

Wow indeed. Thanks so much for your heartfelt comments! Although I'm sorry for upsetting you... I have to admit, it' is every artist's dream to effect someone and cause an emotional stir in others... so... thank you again so much!

this is a reply to stacy (sure wish they'd fix that reply bug soon)

no need to apologize. no way. this song is great!

i completely agree good music should stir strong emotions in the listener,
sometimes ecstatic, sometimes melancholy, there's a whole universe of
emotions to create musically. bringing someone to tears is certainly a
success by my lights.

thanks again
