BEL CANTO
Life’s breath
from deep inside
upward it climbs
by diaphragm propelled
‘cross thrumming chords
tune formulates
dynamics modulate
Melodious missile
through troubadour lips explodes
notes off walls ricochet
penetrating hearts
bombarding souls with rhythm
Aural possession
causing smiles to grow
toes to tap, fingers to snap
crystal tears to flow
happy hands to clap
Storytelling vibrations
propagate messages
of peace, love, pain
sensuality, rebellion
To bind wounds
be continually resurrected
from the misery
the tedious doldrums
of this terrestrial existence
for all this do I sing
from deep inside
upward it climbs
by diaphragm propelled
‘cross thrumming chords
tune formulates

Melodious missile
through troubadour lips explodes
notes off walls ricochet
penetrating hearts
bombarding souls with rhythm
Aural possession

Storytelling vibrations

I too enjoy the opera. I was blessed with the opportunity to sing with an opera chorus for two seasons and the experience enhanced 100 fold my love for music.

you know me, anything music & i'm all over it... i find that little stirs a soul the joy or sorrow or passion or rage as music does... you capture that with true eloquence

Katja, you are always on my mind (enter Willy Nelson), when I write about music. I know that if I don't appeal to any other reader I can always reach you with music. I can write about no easier subject for which I am passionate.
I doubt there's anything like the euphoria of singing well before a crowd of admirers. Outside my experience, given the voice that I have. This is exhilarating work, Gahdess, hitting all the right notes.

Euphoria is the perfect word to describe the elation I feel when I sing.Thank you my friend. I am so glad you like the piece.

So wondrous a thing, to open this flat plastic window to the world and hear such heart and mind provoking imagery without nary a sound being uttered.
I'm in the audience right now listening.
Bravo!
