On the Nature of Daylight.

Goldfinch60



 

The long slow notes of the cello

Draw me into the mind of the composer,

My soul relaxes and I am drawn

Into world of peace and harmony.

 

A viola sings a song of contentment

Flying above the cellos,

In a melody of sublime music

Each complementing each other.

 

The low sound of the music

Rising into a dawn on the horizon

As the violin sails above all,

Like the sun bringing the day

Sailing high in the ether.

 

I am rising with this day

As the music brings light,

Brings light into my life,

With calm and harmony

Created by the beauty of the sound

As My Spirit rises into the wonder,

The wonder of this music.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I have recently found a new composer called Max Richter, and yesterday morning I was listening to the radio, as I always do in the morning, and the piece of music called "On the Nature of Daylight" composed by him was played and it inspired me to write these words.

  • Frank Prem

    Sounds a lovely experience GF. Enjoy the Wonder.

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Frank, I am always surprised by music. I have been listening to classical music and jazz for over sixty years and always come to the conclusion that the more I get to know about music the more ignorant about it the more ignorant I realise I am.

      Music and poetry both alike in ways . Music sways the minds ear while poetry puts the emotions in motion .

      • Goldfinch60

        Very true, they seem to enhance each other.

        I love the picture and the sounds you have created on paper. Nice.

        • Goldfinch60

          Thank you Augustus, much appreciated.

        • Louis Gibbs

          I share your love of this type of music, Goldfinch. The strings in particular. A violin can enchant me, and a cello can break my heart.
          Thank you for sharing the music and your lovely poem! I will be publishing a poem of my own today about music. Be well.

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you Louis, music is so wonderful in my life.

          • Michael Edwards

            A new work to me and your words complement it so well.

            • Goldfinch60

              It was new to me as well Michael, I only found this composer about 4 weeks ago.

                  Thank you PH much appreciated.

                  THANKS ANDY ~ for sharing such a symbiotic gem ~ aurally and verbally. Richer is a fine composer and his music is Divine. For me String Quartets are the most Heavenly form of music ~ each instrument complementing the other three. Another example where the whole is much greater than the mere sum of parts ! I have an older Lady Friend who is a cellist and when she plays for me it lifts me up to Heaven. The body of the cello has the same dimensions as an adult human which is why cello music is so sensuous ! Yours BRIANi

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thanks Brian. I too like string quartets and I have very many of them.
