The Melody Hour

Just a poem for joy.

Fold your daydreams into words

and blend those words into song.

Then close your eyes to the world

and for the Love of it, sing along.

Listen to those sweet, sweet, sounds

Rippling across the ages.

Those millions and millions of voices

Reaching harmonious stages.

I have heard them in the twilight

Just south of the whippoorwill's trees.

There, in the whispers of bygone winds

And in the buzzing of the bumblebees.

With joy, and pride, I tune right in

to my heart's internal quire.

Singing love, and Hallelujah,

In that continuous, melody, hour.

This is a beautiful piece of poetry.
It seized my mind, took me on a journey and I realized it's good to stay happy, allowing nothing to fog your heart. Only a being with peace of mind can enjoy those moments.
And I'm glad you did.

Well penned, Falcon.

Shall we deny ourselves a sprig of sunlight on even the darkest of days?

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Falcon... the Whippoorwill has always been our inspiration ... we need to relax and let the Songs become our Prayers. We do have Guardian Angels who protect us. tenderly, Pat

[JE Falcon]

Much thanks, Pat, and your words returned. Have a great day!

I like the positive energy of that...but I was wondering what might happen if those daydreams translated into nightmarish words, would it jar us roughly out of our pretended sleep?

[JE Falcon]

To joy, I tuned right in. So, you see, we will leave the nightmarish words for another poem. A poem to be written way down deep in the cellar. You know the place, that dark and damp blood-stained place where demons dwell and nightmares begin. But those poems are in the mystery and mayhem row. (Hideous laugh from an echo chamber. :)

Wow! So beautiful and well written. You should be a song writer too. You are spreading joys and delights. Very melodious indeed.

[JE Falcon]

Ah, Melodious tones are always an inspiration. Thanks, ever so much!

Four stanzas of pure poetry, nicely rhymed. Hush.... I am still listening. Enjoyed this very much Falcon.

Ah, Chris, thanks so much. The nice thing about the melody hour is that it can be just about any time.
