Taken Into Peace.

Goldfinch60



There I was,

The concert was over,

We had sung our hearts out,

The audience were in raptures,

We were in raptures,

It was such a success,

Such a wonderful evening,

A complete success.

 

It was such hard work

Getting things ready,

Then tidying things away,

But it had been a wonderful evening.

Now I was so tired,

Back home I went,

Changed into comfortable clothes,

Poured out a large whisky

And just sat and relaxed, listening,

Listening to music,

But not just any music

I needed something special,

Something to take me into paradise.

So I listened to Mozart,

Listened to his piano sonatas.

They took me away,

Away to a world of wonder

Where peace and beauty reigned,

Reigned in my life

And relaxation took me into my peace.

      A fine write Gold.
      You could have ended the day with half an hour of my singing on a recording. But it would have given you nightmares! lol.

        Happy to hear that all was well
        Mozart is truly epic
        It’s soothing for me to hear the sonatas

              All the hard work paid off, the congratulations come and the friendly audience slowly fade into the night leaving you pleased but tired with work still to do. Eventually the worth and comfort sit well as you relax and take stock. Your poem covers all this so well and what a pleasure it is to read. Merry christmas Mr Goldfinch, always giving of yourself and your talents.

                So very true d a. It was a great evening and all the hard work was worth it to see the reaction from the audience and indeed the choir.
                Merry Christmas to you as well d a.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Glad to hear not only that it was a success but also how much you enjoyed it. Whiskey and Mozart better than Brahms and Liszt 😂

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you WH.

                    Yes I did not get Brahms and Liszt but I did drink whisky which is from Scotland, NOT whiskEy which is from Ireland.
