Wonderful Morning.

Goldfinch60



What a wonderful morning,

Up with the sun

Showing nature’s wonder to me.

With breakfast eaten and tea drunk

Off I went,

Went for my walk,

My daily walk with My River.

A beautiful time

With Nature’s artwork,

And of course her symphony.

Walk completed

Went home.

What to do now

In these strange times.

Had my shower,

Put the coffee on,

Found something to read.

With book and coffee

Sat in the sun filled conservatory

Reading and listening

As Maria and Tito sang to me

As I played Rigoletto on the Hi-Fi,

My favourite opera

Sung in a way that always moves me,

Moves me to tears,

Sadness yes,

But also of joy,

As their voices sail though the ether

And will do forever.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Maria Callas and Tito Gobbi are the singers referred to, I have had a recording of Rigoletto by many singers but I always come back to this version which to my mind is the best.

    Some singers are in tune with our tear ducts. The one i chose today gets to mine every time. It's a release of tensions you don't know you're carrying around with you i suppose. I hope you stay safe in these walks.

      Thank you d a, yes they certainly are in tune with us, some singers and music in general can be so emotive in so many ways, we will never tire of listening to it.

      I was up with the sun - today I was up with the rain. Doh! Them April showers. A fine write Gold.

        Thanks Orchi, yes it is a bit damp here as well - I might have to get the boat out to go and get the paper!

        These morning walks are the best, walking before it gets too hot. Yesterday we had 30 degrees Celcius!
        You said it well Goldie!

          Thank you Fred, I start moaning when the temperature gets above 15 C, I don't feel the cold.

          ANGELA HERE - Good Sunday Uncle ANDY ! Lovely Song to wake up to - even though Im reading it a Day Late. Love this Weather - the Essex Vinyards are Springing into Life. To be able to walk in the Sunshine compensates for the LOCKDOWN ! Just another Month ? Perhaps - Perhaps - Perhaps !

          Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
          Love Angela & Brian 💛💛💛💛💛
