Listen to the song "July Morning" by Uriah Heap:

and then listen to / read the poem "Journey" by Mary Oliver:
https://youtu.be/PW7KjF8mXPk?si=hJ02B8G9sN8qNA94
You can read the song lyrics here:

and the plain poem (with no music in the background) here:
https://hellopoetry.com/poem/5249/the-journey/
Brainstorm to find similarities and differences between the two texts. Consider these few questions (and, obviously, ask yours):
What is it about? Or, what's the first impression?
How does the music add to what's being told?
What's the time of the day / year in each text, and how does it matter?
Are there any colours? Specific elements?
What kinds of motion and stillness do you see? What purposes do they serve?
What draws your attention more than anything else (a line, an image, a word)?
What approaches to life does each text offer?
What story is being told? Whose story might it be?
What's the most important thing in life?
Can the two texts, read together, bring a more whole picture of what life is about? Or do they contradict each other?
Have a beautiful journey.
