Called Heart Songs









I find myself falling at times . . .





Falling into the music and images

That reach for my words





From within the music

Comes the vision

Of what should be placed

To write its story





Music brings to the heart

Pictures of

Sorrow ... Joy ... Longing





Its message depending upon

What the muse is willing

To see and hear as it speaks





Behind this vision?





The music seems to play

A sadness and yet ...





The multiple emotions

Of its strains

If listened to with the heart

Seems to tell a story





A story not quite heard or seen

That will wait

For another day to be told





For now it remains

To become for the time

Of this reading

A part of the heart that

Writes these words

Given today in

Bits and pieces to be placed

Devoid of form or rhyme





And yet ....

There remains the whispers





A different form of calling

Than Shakespeare ever had

the technology to present





Music has always played to the

Heart of the poet





As images dance within the mind

The music gives them life

And both find their way

To poet's pen and blank posting page





If time allows the quill

To visualize the story

Will all factors come together

To present a form of poetry





Or . . .





Is what I present upon a poet's page

Nothing more than some music

That plays behind a few

Well chosen words





What could we have experienced

Of the true 'Masters'

Had they had what is available

To ourselves today





Sweet music and illustration

To complete their vision

From the windows of their souls

Allowing them a new dimension

Of expression and insight





The greatest books of poetry

Void of illustration

And certainly of music





And yet ...

Aka

Aspiring Angel
