Josh and me, April, 2004

.
He says he wants to
"slip away"
bathing in the coolness
of his own shade
Tears creep upon his song
before the aria ends
begging forgiveness
and a sweet prayer for sleep
For in dreams he is reborn
Even as an oak blooms again
after the hail
And, yet
We give him naught
For we have not yet
dreamed his dream
danced his song
nor have we
captured his shadow
lost amongst youth
and a happy smile

He can not "slip away"

author's note: No secret that I adore Josh Groban and his music. Thought I would shre this one with all of you.

I am listening to "You are loved" on Youtube ... had to check him out as I never had the opportunity before.

Dear Janet, this is an incredibly profound and stirring poem. I understand why you are a fan! His voice is really beautiful, warm and intense.

What a lovely picture too!

Thank you for sharing this with us and for making me discover this artist.

Hugs.
Margherita
