Immortal Invitations
I. Let us walk
Let us walk
the most beautiful streets
of the world tonight
Parisian lanes, bubbling wine scenes,
Roman ways, tempting ancient dreams
Wild luxury of Rilke’s rugged path
shines on a desolate palace
Every step we take is a meditative state,
Navigating holy miles
When the past falls behind,
We are none but two who are smiling
Maybe this journey will preserve us
Tell destiny to find us
If we are good, we will walk forever
like Gandhi could
For salt and silent power
If we discover who we are,
it’s a small thing
when we walk the most
beautiful streets of the
world tonight
II. Let us write
Let us write
the most beautiful words
of all tonight.
Words with the mood of Ave Maria ascending
to skies of a silent symphony,
where love and beauty reign supreme.
In a fleeting moment we feel
Angels brush past us
When we write
The most beautiful words
Of all tonight
III. Let us sleep
Let us sleep
in the most beautiful words
of all tonight
Tender, drowsy sounds of
Truth and beauty and love,
Fill our tired ears with
Heaven’s tears
ushering a golden season
And we will wake to
sumptuous ease
cloudless possibility
and balmy days
again
