When Joni Mitchell Sings

When Joni sings, “Both Sides Now”; it rang across the Earth on airwaves of liquid gold. Her crystalline voice lends its iridescence to, a poem of great beauty. Canada’s child birthed integral wisdom; Crystalline words set to a lava flow of, music from her subconsciousness; they waltz us to dream-time and feed our dream stories; their cocoa-smooth nectar, sweetens life, when Joni sings.

A wonderful tribute to one of my favorite folk singers! You describe the impact of her lyrics from "Both Sides Now" perfectly, M.L. Best wishes, Carolyn (It appears you are tackling many forms today. Bravo!)

It's one of my favorites. She inspired me to learn to play the lap dulcimer, too. Thanks so much.

"They feed our dream-stories." I am going to listen to her music again today, as an answer to this lovely tribute, M.L.
