Peace And Harmony.

Goldfinch60



To the jazz club I went,

As I do every month.

It would be different this month,

A guitarist was playing,

Not the normal type of groups

That I enjoy so much.

Out he came

With a bass player and a drummer,

Just the three of them.

He sat down, guitar on his knee

He started playing.

He was amazing,

I had never heard sound or skill

Sound or skill such as this.

He then played a second song,

So slowly and full of passion

That drew me out of my body,

I was drawn further and further

Into his world,

His world of music.

I was taken Over the Rainbow

As his notes sailed into the ether

With me sailing with them.

What a guitarist.

All evening he played

And the audience and I

Were silent,

So silent as we listened,

Listened to his glorious sound.

 

I had had a good day

But his music took me,

Took me to another place

Where music ruled

And brought peace,

Brought peace and harmony,

Peace and harmony to all.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I have never seen such a wonderful musician, Remi Harris was absolutely fabulous. I was not expecting the evening to be so good. The audience were totally enhanced by his music - as was I.

            When it comes to music I’m no expert,
            But I know what I like when I hear it.
            However new instruction doesn’t hurt -
            In the case of music I’m a half-wit.

            • Goldfinch60

              There are only two types of music Dave, that which you like and that which you don't like.

              Music touches the soul where nothing else can reach. A nice write that takes me back to places I have been in my mind and soul.

                  The power of music to transcend, to take you where you want to be, to lift the burdens of life, to relax. and bring peace. A fine tribute to music's bring harmony to an otherwise chaotic world. - Phil A.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Phil, music certainly does that to me, if only others would listen.
