Music:
A New Beginning

Thirty-seven enjoys his bright midsummer,
Halfway in between his spring and fall.
In every faculty he's at full strength,
Reasoning adroitly and at length
To challenge the beliefs of almost all.
Yet myths are hard to wake from such deep slumber.
Sing of the love that underlies such labor,
Every thought, fact, instance he can scrawl
Vested in what should be evident,
Enduring source of content and content.
Nor can he resist its siren call.
