Angel of Paradise- Artist Andrea Bocelli

Oh, angel, how you flutter 'bout my heart The joy of love and living you impart Your voice my soul does carry into flight Illuminates with incandescent light Your eyes are blind to wonders of this world Yet, when you sing, its beauties are unfurled I live a dream unmarred by pain and strife Where passion, joy, and love are verdant, rife You sing my heart into that special place Where naught resides but beauty touched by grace Angelic face when lit up by a smile Invites my heart to dream a little while Bocelli, angel sweet of paradise In blinded eyes, the light of heaven lies March 30, 2014 Artist Contest Sponsored by Anthony Slausen

Gorgeous. Love the poem; also, love Andrea Bocelli. I was told that his mother was advised to abort him but she refused to do it.

Well done Eileen. I like Bocelli as well. I like "Time To Say Goodbye", "Nessun Dorma", and "L'Abitudine".

I will check the second two you mentioned...Do you know Un Nuovo Giorno...OH MY! Just superb. Vivo Per Lei is the one that I can't get out of my head. Thanks for sharing, JT. Heard on Drake's show! :) So good to HEAR your voice.

Truly blind are those who their soul's eyes can not see although their material sight is functioning! Bocelli not only can see with his soul's eyes but also possesses a soul's hearing and feeling that is why touches the hearts and souls of those for whom he sings for! Bocelli, certain am I, would feel proud of you my dear Eileen for this soulful sonnet!

You know I'm a hopeless romantic. He is the embodiment of romance...A blind singer...with the voice of an angel. OH! His middle name is ANGEL...Isn't that incredible!

OH YES! What a dream boat! :) Just what I love...in every aspect, as you mentioned. I love the half shaven look....the black and white hair....the beautiful smile...his beautiful voice...ITALIAN...Oh yes! The way he smiles when someone kisses his cheek! HA HA! Yes! I am smitten by the man! :) What a fabulous artist. Glad you share my admiration, Charmaine! Let's go to a concert together and scream at the top of our lungs....BOCELLI!!!!! T'amo!!!

Beautiful! He is my sweeties favorite musical artist. She says he caresses her soul. I just found out a few days ago that he became blind as a result of a soccer accident. Very sad.

Caresses her soul...Well, yes. He can do that. Certainly. Yes, I just read up on him and that is correct. How very sad, indeed. Thanks for the visit, Richard.

I love this Eileen. For those who know Bocelli, you reserved two inspiring verses for a grand finale. He makes us aware of things we tend to take for granted. // paul
