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
