The Gift of Voice and Song
Tone Poem
Thoughts on the Songstress
Voice is an usual and Sacred Gift,
For those who yield such a Gift,
Great Powers of Cadenced Candor,
Nuance And Deceit,
The Lie that Tell of Truth,
The Truth That Tells of Lie,
Song is Persuasion:
Lifting Mountains,
Marbling Oceans in Rainbow Jello
Piercing Hearts with Feathers,
...those breathless lulling refrains,
Waking the Dead,
Lulling the restless to Stilled Waters,
Daring Dreamless to Dream,
Effortless,
Star Travel with a sultry Blink,
Pursuits of Love
Hatred's Blue and Purple Faience,
War and
Peace
Songs to Mice and Men,
Noted Candor Clothed in Mirth,
Precipitous Arpeggios,
Caroling
Sun Singed
Fiery Sails
Cooled by Moonlight
Rhythms reborn as Butterfly Wings
Rippling Kaleidoscope Pools
Dirging and Reflecting
Sullen Merriment and Sad Laughter,
Lingers Hope on every Post-it Note,
Willful Abandon and
Thumb-sucking Abashment,
Whispers to Gods
Screams made Whisper,
Prayerful
Plaintive
Primitive
Complex
Awkward,
Sophisticated,
Funny you mentioned that Irony,
Was Thinking the same Things,
How great is That?
Howling Wind and Wishful Tales,
Diamond Tossed and Ganja Rolls,
Mouthed from coarse corsetted Throats
Languished Dry
Wet
Pearled Lips of Appetite..
Feeding the insatiable Hungers...
Of Ear
Lips to Ears
To God's Ears,
To our Hearts...
Songs...she Sang
Well...
Was it Wise to Give the Gifts of Voice and Song?
To Mortal Souls?
Disguised as Play...
With a Double-Edged Sword,
No less No More
Was Given to Whitney...
The Matter is settled Now
...echoes now,
She is forever
Proud and Eternal
Unbound by the Flesh
...Pure Spirit Now and Hereafter,
Like the outline of this Poem,
Elegant Form.
Good Journeys Home
Little Angel
