Harmony in Counterpoint
5/8/2025Aria v1
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
In ivory keys and trembling strings,
A dance of light where shadow sings,
The harpsichord’s celestial breath,
Weaves golden threads through time’s unrest.
[Verse 2]
Violins ascend in spiraled flight,
A fugue of stars adorns the night,
Each voice a path, divergent yet bound,
In Vivaldi’s storm, in Bach’s profound.
[Chorus]
O counterpoint, your sacred maze,
Two hearts entwined in parted ways,
The aria of the endless chase,
A mirror held to heaven’s face.
[Bridge]
Beneath the arch of centuries’ weight,
The canon turns, resolves to wait,
A whispered phrase, a crescendo’s rise—
Eternity distilled in symmetries.
[Outro]
[Verse 3]
The basso hums of ancient lore,
As trills descend to touch the core,
A fleeting spark, a timeless hymn—
The baroque dawn, no edge, no rim.
[Chorus]
O counterpoint, your sacred maze,
Two hearts entwined in parted ways,
The aria of the endless chase,
A mirror held to heaven’s face.
[Outro]
