My heart stays the same

Arthur Rubinstein plays Rachmaninov Rhapsody on a theme of paganini. variation 18 to which I have written song lyrics “My heart stays the same.”

*

Just watching the waves

crashing ashore

as they tumble o’er

each ebbing flow.

*

The receding waves gathering into

a swell to hurl themselves forward once more

casting up a spray

fulness dissipating

lest they push too far.

*

And so life with me

is just the same,

now, I’m forging ahead,

now, falling back.

*

With each ebbing flow, comes time to collect,

to be ready for whatever comes next,

will it change my life?

or is it only feelings?

my heart stays the same.

*

Just watching the waves

crashing ashore

as they tumble o’er

each ebbing flow

*

My life is

more than

feelings. 

*

lyrics by The Totton Linnet
