This is reposted for Sunshine's challange.... (a friend sent me a CD...all it says is Loerenza Ponce...no name of album or songs, but it touched me greatly when I heard it, and this poem tells how) 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 |

Martie~ You got me with this one. Lorenza Ponce can talk magic with her violin. Her voice is angelic ... I sent you a web site ... Enjoy my friend. It is amazing that music can take us where we've never been ... or have we ? ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Hey Martie, I sure have missed reading you hon, this is an incredible poem, especially loved these lines... 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 Beautfully!!!
