A Capella

-By Christine Murrain

Awakened by a new song

In the deepness of night

Dare join me in existence 

upon greeting the morning light?

As the sun sets again,

I proceed an ethereal tune

While hoping for accompaniment 

to delightfully commune

Alas my song I do perform,

With no ensemble to reply

And as the melody fades away

Desolately, So do I.
