After a short intorduction, listen to Garrison read the poem from the Summer Love CD
A summer night, and you, and paradise,
So lovely and so full of grace,
Above your head, the universe has hung its lights,
And I reach out my hand to touch your face.
I believe in impulse, in all that is green,
Believe in the foolish vision that comes true,
Believe that all that is essential is unseen,
And for this lifetime I believe in you.
All of the lovers and the love they made:
Nothing that was between them was a mistake.
All that is done for love's sake,
Is not wasted and will never fade.
O love that shines from every star,
Love reflected in the silver moon:
It is not here, but it's not far.
Not yet, but it will be here soon.
Garrison Keillor
