check it out

I just finished a sketch of the ronsong "seasons of your soul" written way back when. Check it out when you have a moment. Let me know what you think.


SEASONS OF YOUR SOUL
© Ron Schulz

Roses for the springtime
she sacrificed her own and took his name
Promising to never love another more
Planting seeds in fertile seasons
was agreed would be reason
to keep love alive
to help prolong the family tribe
She bartered wealth for peace
according to that western bible's bribe

When the summer lures you
away into the arms of feeling proud
Unaware, this is where the past begins
Then in loving's vague endeavor
Summer loses you forever
to the charms
of a richer bounty's arms
Denying shelter in the safety of
that western bible's bribe

Fall-
the harvest is taken in
The cold winter wind begins to loom
while naked in the moon
bare trees are natures tombstones in
the seasons of your soul

Now the frozen river
skaters skim the surace while below
prisoners gaze through empty eyes of soorow
Campfires blaze, still bodies shiver
Hell is just a frozen river
and it will remain
till springtime comes around and then
She'll plant her seeds again according to
that western bible's bribe

i get a sense of melancholy. but it's somewhat attractive because of the way you've accompianied the words with the music. i visualize a detailed trellis that is rather growing and moving with vines.

i'm just reacting to it. or, another way for me to say it is that i find the words depressing, but that balance gets shifted by the beauty of the music.
