My Secret Passion

My Secret Passion

Written: October 23rd, 2013

For 25 years
I had a secret passion
for the music of one singer.
His voice
was the most beautiful
voice I had ever heard.

To hear
his music over the years
without the world knowing was beautiful.
His passionate
songs flowed through me, his voice
infiltrated me.  Singing

is his passion & I felt it as he sang
about all kinds of things.  Hearing
his voice
day after day, year after year
allowed for joy & passion
within me.  He is beautiful

in a unique way.  Songs of beauty
love, loss, fur...this singer
may have been misunderstood, but not by me.  Passionate
pleas not to be lonely are heard
by those who have enjoyed him over the years.
Vocally,

he may surpise some, but not me.  His vocals
have a soft beauty,
melodic passion & harmonic subtlety that years
of singing
brings.  Each record got better, hearing
him give his passion

and me feeling his passion
with every vocal
performance.  I love hearing
him sing about being "Bitter Sweet", the beauty
of "Only the Moment" & all the other songs he has sang
over the years.

25 years is a long time to have a secret passion,
but I did.  This singer helped me to focus on hearing
music more than seeing it.  His beautiful vocals
still invade my soul with love to this very day...
The day I talked about my secret passion.
