Beneath These Alien Stars
by Vesta Pierce Crawford
Beneath these alien stars-
in darkness I have stood alone.
More than mountains come-
between me and my home.
The desert wind has waved my hair.
Desert sands have etched my face.
And the courage of the mountains-
has bound me to this place.
And something of its peace I've won;
I have stood with only God-
between me and the sun.
Now you get to imagine the music to which those words are set. It will be part of our first concert on October 1st.
