"The din of the orchestra is defining...
"The melody re coning!' "
"And as the music fades away...
"All the Angels look your way!"
Great as usual!
Close to my style...
Falls little shot.
Experience and age!!!

I admired your appealing to our senses of sight, sound and taste plus the drama of the counting down. The literal "mix of gospel and hymn" is quite effective. More cheers- Joan

Dear Michael - lovely thoughts in this one. Musical prayers, Van Morrison what more could one need. Great word play and strong images that remind me of his songs.
Great overall job with this beauty, unique crafting to you alone.
Nicely done.
Thanks for sharing
Mo

My favorite thought: "helium balloon hurt for lift offs rapture/10-9-8-counts down 7-6-5-sounds.../like homes a special place." Excellent lines in this gospel inspired theme. Sort of metaphorical in its very special way. Lovely and inspiring.

Hi Michael: yes, musical prayers say it best; love that line. I usually don't know if you are really saying what you are saying. However, there is a picture of hands reaching Heavenly, chalice of wine, gospel and hymn, spiritual fruit, rapture - all words connected with church/God/Jesus/righteousness, etc. So, I read a little about the spiritual Michael today. God bless you. Linda

Your poem sets the scene very well with your use of words and artistic approach which I think suits the Van Morrison Jazz thing very well. Forgive me if I'm mistaken but sort of in a Beat poet way?
It also reads and flows beautifully. Very well done!

To me this poem sounds like random thoughts which were written down at an evangelical meeting. It's all a bit vague and unclear. Hard to pin-point exactly what the message really is about.

    yes maam...I went to Louisiana to a Baptist Bible convention one year...I know exactly what you mean, the message doesn't add up to the marksmenship. It is quite confusing and time consuming...actually this is about the poetic genius of Van Morrison...and of course myself...trying to rock your gypsy soul...-wink- bug the big love-

I never ever listen to any videos that I've seen on this site.. but I saw Van Morrison and there was no way I was going to miss that! Thanks for providing this music.. very, very kind of you!
