Moved To Tears By Josh Groban

.                             

                                                                I 
                                                    And the violins 
                                                 And the woodwinds 
                                                            Weep 
                                                 Softly into the night
                                            So moved by the sounds
                                                        Welling up 
                                                    From the depths
                                                        Of the soul 
                                                      That conveys
                                                  The over-whelming 
                                                     Emotional pain
                                                        Contained 
                                                     In every word
                                                Of the song he sings
                                                      ‘Home to Stay’ .

Congratulations on your deserving win in the contest, Laine. I too love Josh's music. I cry when I listen to "Vincent" and "I Let You Go", each time I play that cd. Have a great week. Love, Annalise

Elaine, this is beautiful and I love how you write. I have to admit I don't really know anything about this singer but when I googled it just now, the song, you raised me up, looked familiar to me. I knew all the singers in the 60's, 70's and then more and more, I started losing track. Just no time for music except driving to work in my car!! I was really happy to learn SOME other woman on here likes Stephen King!! ALL RIGHT!!! A cool person you are. Luv, Andrea

Heartfelt poem. The emotion pours from your words. Nice use of imagery and personification. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and for your kind comment. It's bitter cold and windy here in North Dakota today. I hope you are staying warm. Happy January! Karen
