For Katherine Jenkins

My soul was ruptured by crystal soprano As I walk from door to door Try to outpace my welling tears Noble silver - perfect jewel Reduce a man to burning fuel Untill I spellbound dont exist Your voice a bell , my disbelief That could summon men to wander off To dwell in wanton pergatory and kneel in wonder of a eucharist A radiant flame of holiness - an arum lily The palor of thy countenance Taste of Russian Ural honey Lift me to the stratosphere Never was heard a sweeter sound I was born for hearing this Surpassing every ounce of elegance Surrender meekly to thy song of godliness

Hi Jan,it took a whole 6 months before I could pluck up the courage to see what she looked like. I fell in love all over again. She is more beautiful than Aubrey Hepburn .

A beautiful tribute poem, Jannie. Such is the powerful effect that the angelic voice of the God-gifted has upon the patient ears of the faithful. Akin to David's harp soothing melodious chords. Personally, I am very ignorant of Classical opera ... but the little I do know, I appreciate it's beauty as much as you do. Very inspirational poem, my dear friend. Love and smiles always.

You have described the human reaction to music they love very aptly. I have the same feelings with Pavroti. His power to encircle the listener with music is great. I am a sucker for a good tenor.

A very apt word there "sucker". Thats me allright! Pavarotti yes man. But she finishes me .

Hi sweet Agnes. You also have a gifted voice. I remember your hymn-like poem with piano. Thank you

I don't know who she is and if I write her name down, I won't remember on which paper! Jannie - you rock, not that she sings rock, but that you tried what I often have, to capture the way a song can capture you. I felt every well written line as written by your own goose flesh! A delight and 'relation' (my meaning: a subject point on which two people relate to each other, i.e., what music can do!) Hugs ... CayCay
