There Must Be Something (Poem by Anna Yin, Music by Wendy Zhu)

Poem from Anna Yin’s Love’s Lighthouse (2017)

music by Wendy Zhu

There must be something
upon the hill.
When new moon whispers to shadows,
trees stretch each limb,
and owls quietly halt.

There must be something
in the breeze.
When Misty May breathes fragrance,
windows half-open,
sunrays shed gold.

There must be something
on the beach.
When sunset dips down the skyline,
tide spreads white skirts,
sand embraces our footprints.

There must be something
beneath the snow.
When quiet dominates mountains,
squirrels clutch pinecones,
I watch you from a distance.
