(A friend sent me a CD of Lorenza Ponce and I wrote this while listening to her music) Places that no one ever Touched If only I could breathe deep enough to absorb all this sound that scratches my ears persisting I open for assimilation then floats on wings above me allusive and yet sure Tap-taping still against this heart a sound like time itself backing angel heat that has no flame is cold yet warm and then you can almost feel the wind in the heavens zapping around mountain angles and the soft tinkle and harmony follows as sure of direction as this minute It is the sound of life where humanity dances and looses itself in the rhapsody of movement and swaying and the voice is the instrument the instrument the voice playing upon each other like lovers I want to dance this joy my feet in perfect points my hands like butterflies and think this song comes from my heart and pleases all the small and lonely with listening I feel this lover’s caress on skin that is slipping into rhythm as sensual as a sigh and if I close my eyes I can be magic and this invisible partner will tell me secrets and will show me places that no one ever touched |

Well Deary Would you just lie back here on my couch, relax and tell me all about these magical invisible partners. How long have you been like this..? LOL!!!! I like verry much. Sometimes though... I wonder how close I should let another get close to those places. Much Love from both of us. |

The first two lines said it all for me--it's so hard to describe the sensation of music-- but you did. |

This makes me want to go out and buy the CD. It sounds wonderful. You, Martie are a joy, and so are you, Rainbow Liz |

I want to dance this joy my feet in perfect points my hands like butterflies and think this song comes from my heart and pleases all the small and lonely with listening All I need to say is: Do you mind if I print this work of art my friend?

Truly beautiful..it is indeed hard to describe the sensation, the emotion music brings forth. You've done a superb job. This definitely makes me want to hear this music! *Krista Knutson* "Every moment marked with apparitions of your soul...." ~*Sarah McLachlan- Do What You Have To Do*~ |
