Morpheus Sings.

Goldfinch60



The tune just would not go from my mind,

I came home from rehearsal

With the tune dancing with the endorphins

As they both raced around my head,

This wonderful tune had taken over my body.

The choir sang so well this night,

The enjoyment was almost tangible.

Then came this song,

New to the choir to sing,

But the tune so well known.

From the start the smile

On the faces of the singers broadened,

As they learned the four parts.

When the rehearsal ended,

The song was beginning to come;

The pleasure was already there

 

I reached home on a cloud of music

As the song still ran through me;

My beautiful wife was there,

Awaiting my return.

We had a drink and chatted

Until it was time for bed,

Into bed we went, to sleep.

Morpheus arrived,

But his arrival did not bring rest,

As all through the night

He was singing this glorious song to me;

“She was beautiful,

Beautiful to my eyes”

  • Comment from author about the poem: The Community Choir in which I sing bass started a new song, Cavatina, in four part harmony. It is a very well known song but it is such a beautiful one.

          Cavitina is "small simple song in Italian". Did not know that . Said so when I looked it up. I loved the guitar version on YouTube. I sang tenor for many years in choirs so can relate to how that would be inspiring. Well done.

            Thank you Augustus, I have been singing for a number of years now, I sing in two Church Choirs but the biggest Choir is the Community Choir I am in and for which I have the honour of being Chairman.
