Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Has it really been 51 years now?

The Light Shined On, Yet Dim the Night

When they first played 'Let It Be'
  I heard whispered words of wisdom
An answer came from Paul McCartney
  Puro alto, sprouting wings of ecstasy

The light shined on, yet dim the night
  Mother Mary came not in daylight
Quenched the notes from John's guitar
  Let It Be... finale ~ mystery memoir

Jennifer Proxenos November 25, 2021 at 2:17 PM The Beatles what an era what hysteria what an enormous surprise to the music industry.

Vijay Pandit November 25, 2021 at 5:05 AM A heartfelt salute--you must be a true fan. Some songs, as memories, always stay with us. Gershon Wolf November 25, 2021 at 3:36 PM Interesting comment, Vijay. I actually was more of a folk-song kind of guy, but certain Beatles songs, such as 'Let it Be' and 'Eleanor Rigby' were moving, I thought. Thank you for support and encouragement. Musical Magic, Gershon

Caren Krutsinger November 24, 2021 at 10:16 PM A darling tribute to the Beatles Let it Be Gershon Wolf November 25, 2021 at 3:34 PM Thank you, Caren. What followed? -- The Stones and 'Let It Bleed?' Was it jealousy on their part? Was it crass commercialism? -- Probably a combination of both. Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving! :) gw
