Hunger goes sleeplessly
Thinking of food;
Evil lies painfully
Yearning for good.
Life is a confluence:
Nature must move,
Like the heart of a poet,
Toward beauty and love.
I am busy working to bring John Boyle O'Reilly's "Life is a Confluence" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about John Boyle O'Reilly's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Life is a Confluence" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
