Bocelli

His eyes cannot perceive the smiles and tears
On faces touched by artistry of voice,
Yet when he bares his soul in ardent song,
The rolling hills of Tuscany rejoice.
Exotic passion shatters static space,
To sing or not to sing was never aired.
Romantic, operatic or berceuse,
Bocelli's voice was gifted to be shared.

Wendy, a beautiful tribute to a wonderful artist who moves people with the profound impact that music is capable of. Your first two lines remind me of the deaf Beethoven conducting his Ninth Symphony and having to be turned around to face the audience so he could see how wildly they were applauding him. Hopefully, Andrea Bocelli knows the impact he has. My daughter had the blessing of attending his concert last month - if I may, I would like to forward this poem to her. Thank you, Wendy ~ John

Thank you for sharing your kind thoughts on my poem and especially for the additional information about Beethoven. What an opportunity your daughter experienced and of course you may pass on this poem - I'm delighted that you asked. Best wishes Wendy
