A somewhat belated response to Joseph's challenge of last week...


Poem Artwork

I Would Be Music

I would be music
The spirit transcending
Races and places and eternity
The music of the oceans, the seas
The seasons and their phases
The music of streams and rivers
And their moods
The music of birds and trees and bumblebees
Dolphins and butterflies
The music of the stars
The planets as they sail
Through the universe and timelessness
I would be
The music of a thousand genres
From a cappella to zydeco
The music of a thousand instruments
From accordion to zither
The music of a thousand singers and composers
From Aznavour to Zimmerman
I would flow through your soul
Like life-blood through your veins
I would be in you
Yes
I would be music

Music is soothing, but sometimes it has many moods. I would be soothing type of music til I got in one of those moods. Outside the fram of my mind = is the ocean coming roaring.

Very heavy duty. Alors, tu aimes Charles Aznavour. ? Moi aussi, j'aime beaucoup Aznavour. J'ai fait la connaissance de lui a New York. J'aime beaucoup la chanson La Boheme et La Mama.

They say, “music soothes the savage beast.” I believe it also opens many doors into ones soul and allows it to become in harmony with its surroundings. Excellent work Regis, thanks for sharing it. Take good care and be well.

Music is never belated, and it is never too early, either, dear Regis, because Music transcends time itself... "through the universe and timelessness"... as it transcends space, in its boundlessness. This beautiful poem is Music which echoes the Music that you already are, and will always be.

Regis,

This takes me to a time not so long ago when I "viewed" Irish lesbians sitting atop a row of rum kegs singing a cappella in Laurie Riley's, a lesbian bar. Music like writing has a thousand genres ... I am so proud that you are a part of it, Regis. I read this poem a few times in complete silence so I could hear each and every sound you described. I can so hear the zither being played by a Japanese-American woman sitting in a pagoda across from a lake of swans. Thanks for giving me music today, Reg!

Ah, a grand wish to be music. Music soothes the . . . well, you know. However, music does not "transcend races." Far from it. Music is used as a battle cry for races to go to war. To put passion and fear into peoples thoughts and hearts in order to used them for purposes most devious. Good poem, just nit-picking about one thing in particular.
