Premium Member These Tiny Hands, Black and White Hands
These tiny hands. Black and White hands twirl. Vibrant palms ripple the Flower-land. Dancing onto the rainbowous piano. Music permeates the thirsty airs. Notes float upon the multi-hued keys –

Red 
Orange 
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet.

Black and White Hands on colorful keys. Magical hands whirling into aural anthems. Fists...

Premium Member Songs My Mother Sang
'Twas early on I remember
hearing the voice so tender
     sweetly interlaced
          with loving splendor
Later on I noticed
how the words fell from her lips
     her mouth, round and soft

Premium Member Birds
“The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”
- J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird

Robins, wrens, sparrows,
quivering, yet silent, still
on limbs and branches, boughs,
heavy with rustling leaves,
their feathers brilliantly flaunted,
in cloaks...

Music of Peace
Do you hear the music?
Floating on the breeze
And the sweet song’s lyrics
Brings words of peace

The music sings of peace on earth
And the chiming of sweet bells
There is a flute playing
With sounds of harps as well

I can hear the choir
Chiming in on high
Sweet Sopranos, Altos,
Tenors, and...

Songs and Noises
Altos and sopranos
Blend - songs
Are heard in the distance . .. . . . .. . .
bass and tenors sings songs of joy
Noises...(pleasant noises to be precise)
Musical noises increase in volume
Some people talk and sing at the same time
Some are having the time of their...

les étudiants et les dirigeants des travailleurs

les bourrasques collent contre les pancartes de grève

Will Bring To Sing With
Will Bring To Sing With

Each time before we start to sing
A great voice will always bring
With us than can be enjoyed
Not be bad and people annoyed.

Tenors tremendous always are
Real, true sign of a raising star
And bases great are becoming
With each other will be chumming.

Win ‘The Trip’ Murray

Some wish the life of stewardess; Win Murray was the ‘trip,’
more than a plane or ship at sea, with stops not on a map,
a riptide ocean surf conceals ’til shore’s long past earth’s curve.
More than great food a hostess serves, Win’s dish...

Palmetto
I heard a Heavenly sound today,
I heard it so loud and clear.
It was so beautiful and so peaceful,
That the presence of God was near.

The sound was so very comforting,
With the altos and the tenors and bass.
If I would have closed my eyes,
I could have almost...

Why Sang Disk Song
TAKE SOME IME AND READ BETWEEN THE LINES
NUTURE THOSE WORDS WHICH NEED NUTURING
CAUSE ATTENTION TO THE PARTS THAT NEED TO
HAVE ATTENTION, ONE VERSE LEAD TO ANOTHER
AND BUILDS-UP TO CLIMAX AND RESTART THE CHORUS
IN THE VERSE ONE LINE STARTS THE NEXT COVERSATION
UNTIL YOU AND I COME...

Castelos
Castelos

Empreendedora,
destemida,
aos sábados, 
e todos os dias,
com garra e 
paixão,
constrói 
castelos no 
reino 
da esperança
e desafia 
o impossível,
em voos altos, 
e leva 
consigo 
o sonho 
de vencer
e fazer 
com menos,
mais e mais....
