A love letter to yourself (by me) In all this life There is a love that endures But, it’s not easy to find We may seek high and low Only to come back to zero Love is a tender thing A gentle breeze A kind glance A gesture of thanksgiving Love is not unkind It’s poised to perfect It lights up a sky, as well as a heart It gives new meaning to life All love can be true But, only one love will truly save you It’s the love you have deep inside It resides in the crevices of your being And it tends to hide The love for yourself No love was ever stronger No love was ever more powerful Yet, we don’t pay it much mind We think that love is found without And, not within Take the time to find this love To nurture yourself To be good to your heart For this love, is the best kind And if you never love yourself You will likely, never love another That might seem cruel It might seem cold But, a love like this is brazen and bold And to think you don’t deserve it Will cause you much pain So, don’t waste another moment Don’t spend this love in vain
Before the days of the internet, we had to write the letters and wait several days for a reply. Does this video remind you of writing any of your letters.? This amazing piece of music had a lot or personal meaning to Tchaikovsky, who had exchanged more than 1200 letters with a woman who he never met. He dedicated his 4th symphony to her and many people (including myself) believe that it was his inspiration to chose Eugene Onegin as the subject for his most famous opera.
Thanks for reading it, Friar Turk and wilsjane @wilsjane My parents tell me about how they wrote letters to each other when they were dating and how the internet has caused a loss in the romance, in their eyes. That's a beautiful story.
Did you enjoy watching Tatiana writing her letter to Eugene, Anna Netrebko is awesome. Few people who listen to Tchaikovsky realize that he wrote 11 operas. They are all too busy singing 'everyone's a fruit and nut case'. LOL
lol There are many composers that get a bad rap, or people just don't know. I like all genres of music, and it's so enlightening to listen to music that started other forms of music, you know? I did like the story.
