Listening to every heart

Sing to Me

Neil is on
first he sings up
then sings slow
then deep and low

love grows in
his voice
no choice
the TV is off

and I hear the words
Replay is hit

he says
one true love
can turn it all around
can take you to the light

today I will go shop
for a red dress cut
up to hereā€¦

again and again
he asks
if he can come
into my heart
and
I welcome him

wails a forgiving
plea
wants to come
back, to win my love,
and I welcome him

he includes everybody
in his song
and still sings to me

he wants to get
lost in my eyes
for a
lifetime,
and
I welcome him

thinking that perhaps
one of my poems
would have 30 years
of lasting appeal
if he sang one

having been lost
since I was
a teen
but not when
Neil sings

he has aged most
gracefully and
can I help if
I wonder what
he sees in his
mirror in the morning

do I care?

and I wonder
are you man enough
even though I think
you are

would you
could you?

play
Neil for me?

At the risk of sounding insincere (the pain is still very intense) I could, I would and I will....

I looked into the sky for my anthem
The words and music came through
But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen
Looking into you

I'll play Neil and listen with you if you will play Glenn and dance with me ... while we both listen.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

I enjoyed this SunShine......
For some reason now I have all these tunes
dancing in my head that I can get rid of now!
