PODCAST #21: VALENTINE’S SPECIAL
Originally planned as video collage 9.4, this presentation became Episode #21 of “Martin Bidney, The Be-loving Imaginer” for two compelling reasons. (1) The Valentine’s Day presentation is the most joyous love song I have written. (2) “Love” is pre-eminently the mood of my “Be-loving Imaginer” offerings. Here is a poem that my Valentine’s Day song performance stimulated:
327 Song of Love
I wrote a love song, and a pleasure sweet
Could feel when singing this to a computer!
Be blest, kind Muse of Tech, who are my tutor –
You as my Valentine I also greet.
I started out with improvising. “Wing it!”
The goddess told me, “Loosen up the mind:
A carefree heart will new coherence find.
Abide in me, and I will help you sing it.”
I felt that vocal spirits treasure kept
For decades well protected while they slept…
Then David words had whispered: Shir ḥadash
(“New song”) and then he added yitkadash
(“Let it be sanctified”). And then I knew
My love I’d sing to Universal You.
