Poems old and new

Praise be Love

He took me by storm
with a voice like no other.
When I first heard the love story “that is older than the sea”
my soul was filled with love’s immortal essence.

The hills will “blossom green and gold”
when love holds court in
every spring of hope, summer of passion , fall of calm
and winter of sad parting,
with Lara’s song ringing in their hearts.

“Wine colored days warmed by the sun”
where vows of love endure beyond boundaries
that never alter despite tempestuous winds,
the kind of love that rules and sustains the world
is the love that found right resonance, breath balancing,
tuneful spontaneity and endearing emotional heights
In the voice of Andy Williams, a glowing star
in the ever shining starry heavens of music makers.
