Like Tears in the Rain - A Variation
by Charles Bryant

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark
near the Tannhäuser Gate.

All those moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain.
Time to die.

His unaided vision had accomplished
in purity of comprehension all
those things the plebs mind could not grasp:
great battle-cruisers consumed by liquid fire
just off the whirling shoulder of Orion;
cosmic beams of diamond-shafted light
breaking against the dark Tannhauser Gate
where patient death lay waiting, passed him by -
until this moment, tear-washed in the rain,
when final fate accomplished his sad end,
understanding that this all must cease;
all these wonderful things be wiped away;
the magnificent dreaming dissolved;
now time to die.

  • It's a beautiful sound and visual 5 Stars thank you .

  • No words!

  • Awe striking BEAUTIFY on a Cosmic scale...Marvelous and unforgettable Charles!!!

  • That's one moment that won't be washed away like tears in the rain dearly-beloved! Thanks for that magnificence. Two of my favourite things - the sequence from 2001 and the music of Phlip Glass. I'll treasure this - and you! Chas xxx

  • Wonderful!

  • Having been Gloriously given a preview to this breathtaking Triumph, I assumed my second viewing would be less emotional.

    I couldn't have been more wrong.

    Magnificent ! Utterly magnificent. And Charles makes these words his own with his inimitable style and presence.

    And the use of Philip Glass is a masterstroke. Philip Glass' music in a film is the equivalent of truffles in haute cuisine.
