Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

A Puccini Opera

A damp and dank November morn
A mist hangs over the sea
Another bad night of tossing and turning
Feeling emotional and lonely you see
Then right on cue as if to say 
Sit back 
Relax 
Let your tension float away
Heartfelt notes encompass me
His song gently stroking my soul
A Puccini opera 
Emotions run high
Just like in Madam Butterfly
I am in a trance 
My soul wants to dance
As my heart he carries along
With the melodic notes of his song
The finale reached a crescendo
Oh no ~ please stay ~ please sing on
But then at the end the softest of sounds
As he turned he flew right down to the ground
My blackbird serenade 
My day he has made
My tears he has dried 
As this new day arrives

Silent One November 10, 2020 at 11:12 AM Music has a way of helping our emotions... Opera is good at that as is musicals . Nice to see you have a coping mechanism my friend. I feel your emotions are not helped with the season. Please have a look into seasonal affective disorder.
