Aah Bach.

Goldfinch60



What can be better,

Sitting down at the day’s end,

A good day that was ending.

So I was sitting with my drink

And listening,

Listening to the glory of Bach

Being played for me.

A calmness glided over me

Like a warming blanket,

A blanket of relaxation

Ending my good day

In the total wonder of his music,

Of his wonderful music.

The piano so beautiful in sound

Bring my good day to its end,

A wonderful end

To such a glorious day,

Aah Bach.

        Me too I think. Did they have 78's in 1066, or what?

        I read your piece and decided to then play the video and listen.

        My mind was taken to a place familiar to you but possibly from the other side (the north side) of the avon. As i walked from the old bridge the wonders of springtime filled the air. Wildfowl arising into air rich with the freshly mown grass aroma promising a warm joyous summer. Families gathering to enjoy the expanse of green, picnicking, playing, frolicking, dog walking, resting, enjoying.

        What a refreshing, unhurried and restful pastime with Bach in the verdant English springtime of my minds eye.
        Thank you.

            'ach' Bach: even, lol
            that one man symbol of unrequited love, well at least in the romantic sense anyway..
            a life that transcends: legend
            and music, gliding effortlessly
            beyond boundaries of Time and taste..
