I Listened to KolnI listened to Koln tonight. The waves pummeled and crushed, rhythm rushed to light against me, as if I were at the carriage house still wrapped tight in a blanket of you, night's cinnamon sadness pouring, liquid madness, through seering sun into late fall light. I listened to Koln tonight and remained somehow unfrightened, upright, as I had yet to do. |

"night's cinnamon sadness pouring, liquid madness, through seering sun into late fall light." -- Stunning words my friend! You create such unique images with all your work. I stand in awe yet again.  *Krista Knutson* "Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart." -Confucious |

Claire- I've no Knowledge of Koln at all - but after reading this and Especially "as if I were at the carriage house still wrapped tight in a blanket of you" You may try to call me flattered again - but may I remind you - "flattery is insincere' and my words are not as I recall my last reply to you.

'tis so easy to visualize Claire, for we have all at one time or another enwrapped ourselved in a special music that allows us to be transported, or even protected within in its notes. |

Would you be speaking of "The Koln Concert" by the pianist Keith Jarrett?? That's the first thing that I thought of when I read the title. . . and as I read the poem, I thought about it more and more. . . Just amazing Claire. . . simply amazing. . . ------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Thanks everyone, for reading. I'm glad there was a little bit of this piece that made sense to someone! (besides me) Sven, that is the exact piece of music I am referring to...isn't it magical? It is very special to me. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Michael, it is true, this is a bit different from my usual poetic offerings. As you know, I prefer writing in classic meter and rhyme, but am tempted, now and again, to try my hand in free verse. Who knows? Maybe if I keep trying, I'll eventually get it right. Thanks, dear. Severn, I thank you, in earnest, for the sweet words you left for me, and am pleased that you found this to be something you enjoyed reading. Sven, oh yes, do find another copy, and feel it, my friend. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
