I AM HERE WITH YOU ALWAYS
Music: Nilo Alcala II
Poetry: Reggie Alcala (1949-2021)
Composer's notes: On the 20th of January 2021, I lost my dear Mother Reggie to pancreatic cancer. A few days before she breathed her last, I found this original poem of her’s written on the inside front cover of her journal with instructions to share the poem at her wake.
See me in each butterfly
emerging from its cocoon.
Hear me in the rustling
of the falling leaves.
Kiss me back when the soft breeze
kisses you.
Feel me when your heart
beats in joy and in sorrow.
I am here with you
…always

This was a really great piece. This was also my first time ever seeing them live. It was everything I ever imagined from watching them on CZcams since my undergrad days! How fortunate you are to have your work done by them!
