This is part two of Spring Suite, a bit more narrative, with longer lines set with off rhyme. I like using the more subtle echo effect of off rhyme, where there is a like sound but not a perfect, ringing rhyme. Much of this segment revolves around the image of the girl in the dress at the dance, kind of an abstraction of fertility loosely tied to natural and spiritual forces, through that allusion at the end to the tree of life. I tried to create something of a mysterious energy behind it all, going back through milleniums of generation to the dawn of time. And yet also keep it somewhat in the present, in the moment. Spring is also about this force of fertility and the power behind generation and the creation of new life. estory
