#LyrePoem Cinquain #4 Worry
Relax…
Worry cascades
Down and out… To the Earth…
Where it transforms into the Light
Of peace.
Forest Mystery
Forest Mystery is a piece I wrote last year to try out the G minor melodic scale. From C tuning, tune all B strings to Bb and all F strings to F#. Enjoy it played on Lynda Lyre with nylon strings, as originally written.
19-string acoustic lyre. I really prefer this piece with steel strings.
16-string solid body lyre. Notice the modified left hand without the F#3.
And my double strung arrangement played on 2 19-string acoustic lyres. To me this is the most beautiful and mysterious of all.

I was once a tree
Now I am your instrument
Beauty scene and heard
#LyrePoem Rondelet #3 Blessed Mother Earth
Blessed Mother Earth,
I hear you crying out in pain.
Blessed Mother Earth,
You are my home, and since my birth
Your steadfast love is not in vain.
You keep me; may I do the same,
Blessed Mother Earth!

#LyrePoem Tanka #4 Waterfalls
Waterfalls tumble
Eroding stones on their way
Making room for good
Let the water wash away
Stress and pain… And leave you peace!
#LyrePoem Cinquain #3 Sunbeam
Just one
Radiant beam
Shimmering in the dark
Can light up a room… Or a life
With hope!
#LyrePoem Haiku #3
Wind making music
Trees sway gently to and fro
Waving hi to Spring
