Ekphrasis On La Vie En Rose

a dulcet dreamy rendition
of sweet symphony
paints  a cosmic light
inciting the sleepy moon
over the  silvery sea

as music soars~
I see clouds descending 
to kiss the silky shore
resting on his bosom

and as the music fades,
I hear him sings "La Vie En Rose"
in soft serenading tenor~
Oh, my life begins to glow in pink.




Notes: "La Vie en Rose" (French for '"Life in pink"') is the signature song of popular French singer Édith Piaf, written in 1945,[1] popularized in 1946, and released as a single in 1947. ( Info credits to Wikipedia). This ekphrasis is based on Richard Clayderman's performance on piano.

Hello there. I hope you're good.... Nice to see you post a poem, been a while. I love this song, I wrote a poem "Life in Pink" in November 2020 and posted in here. Of course, it was inspired by this song, "Le Vie En Rose."

A melodious rendition touches the hearts and creates waves of joy in the air, the water and even in the sky ! As the Nightingale's song touched the heart of Keats, this music has touched the very core of your being. Beautiful Jez
