What is that?..

Postby Alexandra on Sat 28 Oct, 2006 12:23 pm

Don’t judge severely… It’s the first thing I’ve ever written…


- What is that lullaby?
Is that mother’s voice
From a distant childhood singing?
- No, it’s just a foamy tide
running on the shore.

- What is that lament?
Is that a violin with all the strings crying?
- No, it’s just the autumn wind
Moaning in a minor duet with night.

- What is that trill?
Is that a flute playing it’s part,
While the orchestra’s waiting in silence?
- No, it’s a lark saluting the sunrise,
While all the nature awakes and fills with sounds.

- What is that jingling?
Is that the bells tinkling
For the festive service?
- No, it’s laugh of kids
Opening their Christmas presents.

- What is this choral?
Perhaps it’s angels singing from Heaven,
Glorifying all God’s creation?
- Oh, no! It is my heart beating
For the Man I love…
That best portion of a good man’s life, — his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
William Wordsworth

Neat poem, Alexa!
~Soli Deo Gloria~ "All music...should have no other end and aim than the glory of God and the recreation of the soul; where this is not kept in mind, there is no true music, but only infernal clamour and ranting."~Johann Sebastian Bach

Well Alexandra... if one laughts at you,
do not hesitate to smile,
without any words...
as Em did say here to you...
your soul is very beautiful
and beauty and love,
are the only things that move the world
I am very honoured to know you.
Thank you.
I believe in a better world... in integrity and verticallity... I believe, that Andrea Bocelli music, will make a better world for many.... that only need a smile at the end of the day.
