Savoring their oranges, giving their kisses likes waves exchanging foam. Stretched out on the beach a boy and a girl. Savoring their limes, giving their kisses like clouds exchanging foam. Stretched out underground a boy and girl. Saying nothing, never kissing giving silence for silence. Poem by Octavio Paz Translation by Muriel Rukeyser  less

Text by Janet Loxley Lewis, from "The Selected Poems of Janet Lewis". Recorded live on Friday, May 16, 2014, at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Concert Choir ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. Below the gardens and the darkening pines The living water sinks among the stones, Sinking yet foaming till the snowy tones Merge with the fog drawn landward in dim lines. The cloud dissolves among the flowering vines, And now the definite mountain-side disowns The fluid world, the immeasurable zones. Then white oblivion swallows all designs. But still the rich confusion of the sea, Unceasing voice, sombre and solacing, Rises through veils of silence past the trees; In restless repetition bound, yet free, Wave after wave in deluge fresh releasing An ancient speech, hushed in tremendous ease.  less

Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Susan Dodd. I had a paint box. Each color glowing with delight. I had a paint box with colors warm, With colors cool and bright. I had no red for wounds and red for blood. I had no black for an orphaned child. I had no white for the face of the dead. I had no yellow for burning sands. But I had a paint box. Each color glowing with delight. I had a paint box with colors warm, With colors cool and bright. I had orange for joy and life. I had green for buds and bloom. I had blue for clear, bright skies. I had pink for dreams and rest. I had a paint box. Each color g...    less
