Applause

Applause

My imagination soars as my soul nearly bursts with  a picture and the magnificent feeling of being in complete fellowship with an uncounted group that is  joined in celebration of excellence leaping  as one to our feet applauding roaring altogether  our absolute delight about the performance we have experienced and manifestly appreciate

while from here and there come shouts of “Bravo!  Bravo!” my heart feels unrestrained as I also have felt lifted to a golden level of meaning for what being human can mean and achieve as the shouts ring out “Encore!  Encore!” even louder the applause grows after the end of the opera, the play, the concert, the symphony, the ballet, the poetry reading, the gallery opening, the season’s

festivals vibrant with new creations and classic presentations inspiring us one by all to envision the us we could be so very gladly I bear the faith to know we were created by word in the full image of not only what we are but also toward what we aspire as our gatherings do lose themselves in the witnessing and call “Encore!” go on on...on to the truth of our being’s becoming.

I hope I may call you Mikey, my poet brother. Esp since covid, it so touches my soul to see concert goers cheering & I relish live cd’s. Hillsong, Opera, Elevation Church music. In down times, mom always said Let Them Sing! & recall Berlin Wall joy?
