The Singer

I could hear him singing
  calling to the trees
he did not know I could hear

I listened from afar
  my ears aroused from the vibrating sensation
of his deep husky repine


I could not make out the words
  just the tone and melody were enough
to capture my interest


he played his voice like a fine
  violinist weeping and laughing
toying with emotions


He talked in the language of music
   words could not express the feelings
he relayed


There was no way to harmonize my
  connection
Listening was as close as I
  could get..

This actually happened to me, not exactly, but it did. Talk about a feeling dejavu.

simply wonderful...there's some kind of magic in writing about music...it makes it simply gold on two levels, two forces against any odds...it's the most moving thing there is

joy has its own justice. and dreams are languid and lawless. and everything bows to beauty, when it's fierce and when it's flawless...

Very enjoyable...

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

He sang, you listened, you sing.
That's music!
Beautiful.
