Andrea Bocelli-You speak to my soul

My soul wept while you sang,

my soul trembled 

as your voice lifted it higher. 

As you touched my core,

I was an infant,

I was a little girl running 

toward my father's arms,

I was a woman loved.

All the moments unfolded into one,

a thousand yesterdays and today,

interwoven into a beautiful tapestry of my life.

My soul trembled,

touching dark places

where now there is light,

reaching inside my spirit

to everything I ever was,

and all that I am.

Erase the past,

celebrate the past,

devastation replaced by triumph.

I wept as if I had wings,

lifting me over oceans and mountains

I have loved.

Completely captivated

in the moment,

yet I melted into 

a thousand mournful mornings,

of despair and loneliness,

of judgement and courage.

A thousand moments

engraved in my being.

A thousand tangos I have danced

while I stood still.

All the while,

my soul weeping,

the scars cracked,

open and bleeding.

My soul weeping with the grace

of knowing that the pages

are full,

that I have lived,

that I have loved,

that we are here

for a moment in time.

We blink and the

here and now 

are gone. 

I was inspired to write this after attending a concert of Andrea Bocelli. His voice went to my core and as you read the poem I wrote you will understand how I feel. I never felt so lifted to hear anyone in concert even though I have seen many talented performers that I love. This concert was like therapy to my soul. I am so grateful that I experienced this.  Please meet us here http://dversepoets.com/ where we share our thoughts and our hearts.
