Led To Wagner.

Goldfinch60



Once more it surprises me,

Music surprises me so often.

All my long life I have known of him,

I have heard him so often

And just ignored his work,

Thinking it is not for me.

But I know my life has changed

And I listen to much more music,

Even music I had dismissed.

I heard an excerpt of his music

And I thought “I like that”.

I had the recording in my collection

And put it on.

This time I listened,

Listened not just heard it.

Once more I was taken,

Taken by the sound

Into the glory of this music

As Tannhauser took over,

Took over my life

And led me to Wagner.

        I went to one modern church - the music was so loud the floor vibrated. I had terrible headache after it. Erm, I only been there the one time.

        Very well penned, Andy. So often we hear music as a background without actually listening. But when we listen, that same music can become something much more beautiful.

          Thank you Fred. Yes that is so very true.
