COMPOSER’S NOTES

A Frozen Wisp is actually a development from a setting of words that I wrote in my spare time. The words somewhat reflect the sacred atmosphere from the time of penning. Moreover, the text is meant to cast the shadow of life’s burdens, and its inevitable end. Provided here are the words:

Though winter may seem cold.
Filling earth with such great chill,
Winter’s sweet silence will make us whole;

The storm may find us weary,
Cold and dark with such great fright,
Yet in this darkness there is still light;

So bring on life’s troubles,
Doubt and fear and all life’s woes,
Glory shall find me where’er I go.
