The Listeners Joy Sonnet.

Goldfinch60



Yet what is music if not gently heard,

A gift that’s given, seeking hearts to take,

A tale unfolded with each vibrant word,

A world that only listening can awake.

 

The beauty of the art is not complete

Until it finds a soul to call its own,

For music, in the hearing, is replete,

A meeting-place where seeds of love are sown.

 

So let us pause and listen, truly still,

To every cadence, every fleeting strain,

For in those moments, time itself grows ill,

And beauty conquers suffering and pain.

 

The listener’s joy, the music’s final phase,

Completes the circle, echoes through our days.

            Andy I know your message, I’ve heard it before, but your skills in the realm of the sonnet take it to another level.
            Great stuff.
            Bohemian Rhapsody was, during its time of opening popularity an accompaniment via my tranny to a time in my life full of hope and adventure. Made me a fan of Queen for the longest while. The due reverence Given to it at the Proms is something I see as a fitting tribute. Thanks for making me aware of this.

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you Dave. Yes that tribute at the proms was phenomenal and will put Queen on the map forever.
