music soothes the soul

music soothes the soul

Welcome to a Singer's heart

There is a quote that says "the eyes are the windows to the soul". Well, if that is true, then music is the 'connection of the soul' to form common bonds with all of us who share a love for music in all its complexities. Music is 'praying' twice, because it combines the words of a pray and the notes of the music. Music can leap over boundaries that nothing else can. Boundaries in language, theology, geography, race, politcal affliations, space, time and conflicts of any kind.
If you were born with music in your soul, and always in your mind, this is your blog. Share with me your love of song, instruments, compositions, soundtracks, famous and not so famous singers, musicians, composers, etc.
This blog is also a place to voice where you are, or are not, in a musical career, or lack of one, and why. Share your stories, your aspirations, your desires.....and so, your soul. Maybe we can create new bonds right here that will enlighten, touch hearts, and bring peace to someone's soul.
Thank you for visiting. I look forward to your words and your feelings.

The Music Within

Within my soul I have always heard
a quiet voice and celestrial sounds,
Sweet, etherial, unworldly tones
yet left within and in me found.

Standing on shore a sunset enveloping,
angelic voices fill air and space,
praising the universe for gifts unseen
revolving unnoticed by veiled hearts and faces.

My heart must sing the songs confided,
the words entwined tightly in the rest,
the vibrations, intonations, emotions of life,
in the music created and living in the blessed.

For I am not alone in privilege entrusted
with vibrant notes resounding within,
with human inadeqacies the blessed persevere
recreating the music from where it began,

Placed in our hearts that are always full
of the stories we know we must retell
and the songs we embody within our spirits
whose magnificent sounds we know so well.
