lyrics

The winter sunset, flaming beyond spires
And chimneys half-detached from this dull sphere,
Opens great gates to some forgotten year
Of elder splendours and divine desires.
Expectant wonders burn in those rich fires,
Adventure-fraught, and not untinged with fear;
A row of sphinxes where the way leads clear
Toward walls and turrets quivering to far lyres.

It is the land where beauty’s meaning flowers;
Where every unplaced memory has a source;
Where the great river Time begins its course
Down the vast void in starlit streams of hours.
Dreams bring us close—but ancient lore repeats
That human tread has never soiled these streets.

about

Bryant O'Hara Atlanta, Georgia

Programmer, Poet, Science Fiction/Anime Geek - not necessarily in that order.
I think I know enough about music to be dangerous.

I write poems and songs with science fictional elements.
I write music with whatever software or code I can find or write myself.
I use whatever musical genre works for the piece.
I am always searching for the "sense of wonder" and am amazed at where I find it. ... more
