Angel Voices

.

Something which can be heard when you listen.

Angel Voices        -        05 Jul 22

Angel voices 

Fill the air over the island 

Take me back 

To the time 

I was among them 

Awoke to the songs 

They sang 

Were they for me 

I was never certain 

But still I listen 

I listen 

. 

Gentle songs. 

. 

Wind Singer

.

Have you heard the singer? 

. 

Wind Singer       -      13 Feb 21 

Songs sung by the 

Vagrant restless whisperer 

Words never told 

In the night by anybody 

The wind singer knows 

All the words and songs 

Speaks to you in your dream 

Bids you to sing too 

. 

Do you sometimes wake with an unexpected song in your mind? 

. 

Under The Trees

.

Exploring Autumn woodlands. 

. 

Under The Trees     -     24 May 20 

Slipping through 

The quiet woods 

Listening to the soft songs 

Playing in my mind 

Drifting in 

The Autumn days 

Feeling the edge 

Of all I have known 

Having them 

Walk with me 

Under the trees 

. 

A tranquil place to be. 

. 

Hello

.

I had worked on this poem for quite a while but was not totally satisfied with how it felt. 

I showed it to the one special person and she suggested a few amendments, the version that appears here encorporates those amendments. 

. 

Hello     -     05 Jan 20 

Hello 

So many people 

Have written songs with that 

Simple salutation 

I have read a lot of them 

And they are beautiful 

But I never felt that what 

I wanted to say 

Would convey the same feeling 

And then you turned to me 

Smiled 

And said 

Hello 

. 

I give thanks to the one special person for the assistance. 

. 

Sleeping Minstrel

.

I have heard those songs. 

. 

Sleeping Minstrel    -   21 Dec 19 

The sleeping minstrel wakes 

Long since his songs 

Have graced the hall 

Memories still haunt 

The wind and sing 

Of times past 

. 

Listen to the wind, you can hear them too. 

. 

Dragon Stories

.

Tales requested and told. 

. 

Dragon Stories     -    09 Dec 19 

She said 

Tell me a story 

Of the times when 

Dragons played 

In the forests 

Near the sea 

I told her 

Of the songs 

The minstrels play 

As the choir 

Sang sweet songs 

Of the dragons 

She asked me 

To tell more about 

The circling maidens 

And how they danced 

To please the dragons 

As they flew 

I told her of the circles 

On the moor where 

The dragons watched 

The merriment of the maidens 

In the dawn before 

The day really woke 

. 

Dragons are wonderful people. 

. 

Listen

.
The songs invite a listening ear.

.
Listen   - 14 Sep 19

Whispered songs
Combine to build legends
Whispers which echo
Through time's vaulted halls
Time himself invites you to
Listen to the songs
Add your voice

.
Join the song.

.

Making A Wish

.
Always aware of how things shape thoughts and thoughts shape things.

.
Making A Wish    -   11 Jun 19

The songs sung in the dark
Of the predawn sky
Still conjure the dreams
To share the moment
Invitation reaching out
Thinking of weaving
Shaping building
Making a wish
Calling the sun into the day

.
And dreams can always shape the world.

.

Dreaming

.
Knowing the Lovely dreams.

.
Dreaming     -     30 Jan 19

You do not need to talk
I can hear the songs you sing
Telling me of your dreams
As the night progresses
Your dreaming wraps me
Carries me on a voyage of
Discovery and showing me

.
Showing me everything.

.

Just Listening

.
Mental music.

.
Just Listening     -    09 Jan 19

Songs drift through my mind
Sometimes they get in the way
Of other thoughts
I am happy just listening
As the songs go round

.
Do you listen to the songs in your mind?

.

Sweet Caresses

.
Caresses are always sweet and welcomed.

.
Sweet Caresses    -   21 Oct 18

I feel you around me
Gentle reminder of your Love
Your sweet caresses
On my thoughts
Hold me close

The songs we sing
Together
Everywhere in our dream
Take on a shape of their own
Always within us

.
Those Lovely feelings.

.

In Between

This could be an observation or something deeper.





In Between  -  31 Mar 18

Between the day and the night

There are many places

Where I exist and dreams

Have my voice

Worlds carry me

Dreams hold me and speak

For me and sing the songs

Of my Soul

In between the moments

Time stands still

Allowing a clearer

Vision and I watch

What do you think?

Wind Singer

You can hear all the songs if you just listen.





Wind Singer  -  21 Oct 17

Wordless songs

Melody is enough to inspire

The singer in creating

A gentle song

To be carried on the wind

Listen for it with your Soul

Can you her them?

You Knew

The magical stars shine for us.





You Knew  -  18 Dec 16

As darkness gathered

The songs of night began

Voices chanted the closing of

The day as stars showed

You knew the words

To open the spell

And let the dreams begin

Come sweet stars

To light the way

Into the world you knew

You knew so well

Let yourself slip into the spell.

Listening [Acrostic]

An acrostic for your perusal today.





Listening [Acrostic]  -  13 Oct 16

Let us go

Into the void to listen

Songs tell of the ancient times

Through words from the beginning

Empty now the songs await

Needing only music

Inspiration of the sweetest kind

Nightingales talk about the

Golden era

Listen to the songs around you.

Music

A statement of how my brain works.





Music  -  05 Sep 15

Music paints the words
I require 
Make my songs complete
Allow the songs to form
In ways I never expected
Songs
To charm
To make
Us





This song is left apparently unfinished because of the way the music plays in my mind.

Songs Remember

This all came about when my mind kept remembering old songs and playing them from my memory.





Songs Remember  -  15 Aug 15

Soft sweet songs
Still sung
In the halls
Of my memory

Songs of Love
Songs of loss
Loves which might
Have been now gone

In amongst the old songs
Fragments of a new one
Coming together forming
New memories





The idea that memory could create and form new songs for me to sing was rather appealing.

Songs Of Ages Past

A song which comes from the Dreamtime ~ the Spirit time before time.





Songs Of Ages Past  -  09 Apr 15

And who will sing
The songs of ancient times
Or tell the tales
That made our grandmothers
Smile in the night

Sitting in silence
Waiting for the songs
Grandmother whispered
These songs were old
Long before I heard them

Songs from the dawn
Recalled in our dreams
Earth heard them
When waves kissed the shore
And the wind sang along




At least, this is my personal interpretation of Dreamtime and where our dreams and legends are born.

Writing

A poem which was inspired by writing Love songs ~ one of the Loveliest occupations I know.





Writing  -  07 Apr 15

I wrote me
Into your life
With a few words
Love poetry
Songs which spoke
Directly to your Soul

You wrote me
Into your life
As you sketched
A poem in a few lines
The lines which
Burned in my Soul

We wrote
An Eternal song
Words taken from
The whole of time
Just to be shaped
For us by us





Writing Love songs ARE fun.

Atlantis Memories

Ancient thoughts still float around my mind . . .





Atlantis Memories  -  01 Feb 15

Echoes of Atlantis
Still play in my mind
Songs from the citadel
Are fresh in my thoughts
My Lady still sings
For me
As she weaves her mysteries
Around me and for me
And within me





. . . and the Love songs are still there.
