Give and Take
~~~~~ What is your role this roll of liar’s dice? Is it an actor’s nightmare if you’re a baker? Each step upon the stage happens twice. For each part, you are a giver and a taker. The sand grains dig deep and dent me as […]

Improvisation
~~~~~ A Rapid Meditation on Ives Trio for Piano, Cello and Violin Where Did That Come From The way in life we come together, walk side-by-side and harmonize.

Begin, Become, Begone

We have misplaced the magic, retained our night terror.Magic not lost entirely, yet glimpsed now […]
Anticipation
Glowing Moon ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ I sing the tune without notes, life, air, water, love and hate. Urgent laughter, birds and boats, indrawn breath which all await. Star birth and truth glowing, shadows contrast, seeds scatter, wafting aloft; a river flowing, small feet, rain go pitter-patter. Glorious crescendo in minor key within, without, […]
Plain or Fancy Inside
Reversal of Fortune ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Some things and some people are quite plain on the outside. Still, might hide glory within. Or, a plain face may hide evil.
