How playful and teasing to the sensibilities. I love the descent of each word like snowflakes in the grace of winter. Lovely work.

WHAT IS EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL ABOUT A SONG OF THE SOUL IS THAT EVERY ONE'S SONG IS SO DIFFERENT...THEIR ESSENCES, THEIR VEROCITIES, THEIR DEPTHS AND TEXTURES ARE SO VARIED...AND YET...SO SIMILAR, THAT THIS EXQUISITE PATTERN APPEARS...YES, THIS ELOQUENT COVERING, COMPRISED OF SONGS OF THE SOUL COMES FORTH, AND WE CALL IT...? AUTHORS DEN. WELL DONE, JON...ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING, LOVE AND BLESSINGS, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

LOVE it!! I am sure John does. [Wonderful, isn't he?]

This is beautiful and clever and musical and you have even managed
to slip in humor. Rapscallion is one of my favorite words. Can't
imagine anyone not smiling.

Did I mention the images s i n g? That the poem tantalizes all the
senses?

Multiply Yes to infinity.

I have a friend who is a flutist, as well as a writer. Can't wait to show this to her. (Her name is Barbara Kenyon. I am telling you
because I have heard & saw an excerpt from the memoir she is writing and recording. Part flute, part prose, part poetry, all woven into a unique and colorful tapestry. Symphony an apter metaphor. I predict it will be a huge hit.)

Encore! ENCORE!!!

A song often invades my mind. However, reading your multi-instrumented experience seems more like a clash of cymbals. A bit unsettling.

So many of us keep searching for the true melody of our souls, often taking many false paths before recognizing the truth of our inner song.
Count me in your band of misfits...I will feel right at home. Splendid writing Jon Michael.
peace and love, Carole~

No one can resist this invitation, Jon, no one...'a band of thieves' now that's an interesting pun and twist...those who are different, bold, singular yet have an understanding of shared harmonies and a common desire and purpose.
Thank you for the mention, My Friend, I'm honoured.
