A Night in Toscana with Andrea

Be still within it
he feels with his voice of eyes
where touching is sound

He is crying now
I hold his tears in my hand
wipe them from my eyes

The leather falling
crashing sans wings in water
the ocean a bluff

Sleep is not easy
when ever I go past light
he follows me there
----

With gratitude to Andrea Bocelli for his voice that took me there

Love this stanza:

He is crying now
                       I hold his tears in my hand
                       wipe them from my eyes

The rest are too deep for me.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Andrea Bocelli may not have the gift of sight, but he most assuredly has been blessed with a voice that reaches into the hearts of those fortunate enough to hear him sing...

He would be moved by your words.

"He is crying now
I hold his tears in my hand
wipe them from my eyes"

Martie, I'm wondering if you know that this is actually what happens when one has a soul connection with another.  It is exactly what happens.  I've wiped many a tear from my eyes when knowing that they aren't mine - and it hurts so very badly.

I was hooked the first time I heard him... I didn't understand a word... and yet... I understood completely... for the beauty of his voice literally transcends language. *S*

Yes, my friend...big smiles and hugs...this entire poem is perceptive and accepting and written within a sort of trance of goodness...peace, tranquility and a night of seduction with a master of sound...taking you to the life's embrace...and knowing what it's all about.  

Martie, this is one of my favs of yours.
