Night time is the right time . . .
—Ray Charles and Margie Hendricks

She had me in the car. I came forward like a song. We did it before temple, after temple, between prayers. The windows echoed her mantras, our cries warmed the air. Two peaks merged, then sank below the clouds. We did it before temple, after temple, between prayers. Her stomach began to show and people asked us not to come. Two peaks merged, then sank below the clouds. Night and day, everything was changing. . . . . . Her stomach began to show and people asked her not to come. My mother was all alone when I was born. Night and day. Everything was changing. The radio started playing rhythm and blues. My mother was all alone when I was born— The windows echoed her mantras, our cries warmed the air, The radio started playing rhythm and blues. She had me in a car. I came forward like a song.

A Noiseless Patient Spider
BY WALT WHITMAN
A noiseless patient spider,
I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.

- In this poem, the speaker observes a noiseless, patient spider on a
promontory (a rock outcropping over the ocean). It leaves a mark on its
vast surroundings by weaving its web. In the second stanza, the speaker
compares the spider to his soul, which is always trying to make
connections in the world

The tone of this poem is very lonely and dark. The theme depicts the difficulty of human life, and how hopeless it can seem. Whitman uses various imagery to symbolize how the speaker feels and he (Whitman) is represented as the spider and if the spider is the speakers soul, then the surrounding is the universe.

@Gusman thank you I recently read one of his poems called America us Singing I believe.

@Jazthakid My pleasure.
Walt Whitman was one of the US most famous Poets.
Yes, long dead now, but he lives on through his over 300 poems.
Have a look at, Leaves of Grass, Classic Whitman

@Gusman oh wow I didn't know he did all of that but I'll definitely check Leaves of Grass out.

Are those song lyrics co-written by the late-great Ray and Margie? I'm a bit confused. XD
