Saltzburg

and what it means

When visiting Saltzburg years ago, I walked its 

streets an' passages, wanting what was shared with

its many visitors to feel an' hear the great man's 

magic in a city, not only his birthplace but - 

heritage an' memoriall. Thus his music shadowed

each tourist's footstep an' gasp.

Like many a traveller, had yearned an' prayed for

for a wrap of sound that would outlive my life.. yet, 

would echo whenever the need for more might

invade my longing for no less than what was a

a transcription of black figures birthed into sounds

so beautiful, they sounded like a celestial murmur

How much I was blessed as - to my amazement many,

many was the moment I'd reach a corner where music

students were playing a piece of Mozart's music watched 

an' listened by mesmerised visitors, stood stock still.

The Maestro's wonders flew off away about the city

as if to share what was his august an' rightful memorial

As each piece of music ended listeners would place

palm to palm to applaud as that glorious work

soared like a murmuration of beautiful birds flying

towards heaven - a true celestial auditorium, space

itself everlasting accompanied by tourists an' those

wearing the Loden.

The venerated composer created magic, created his

very own idea of an out of this world Heaven, which -

finally,  surrendered the idea to all of those who wish

to guess the secret of what creativety truly means. 

For those unsure are echoes lingering in space ... 

drifting towards those who cherish true beauty.

Joy,
DANG!!! What an angel's voice that kid has! The art of finding beauty everywhere is p gift and a talent, you have both... But even more you know the humanity of people and how we can soar when inspired!

YES, YES AND YES! You can find more of his performances in YT and well worth a quite hour listening too.

Without humanity.. we would not be..

Ah, you remember the long long ago, where people didn't instantly reach for their phones to stick it on social media for likes. I wonder if they ever truly hear the music while doing that and somehow miss the point of the moment, which is to stay with you forever in the great hard drive in your head! To replay the moment and walk those streets once more as the music leads you through those moments that never fade.
Note to self....visit Saltzburg! 😃

Just lost an entire paragraph about Saltzburg and Mozart. Is a very special place, busy at that time cos of the celebration of that great man's name and music. Perhaps rather than me repeat what I'd tped and lost, you could read up for your future visit! Must sleep now. Sweet dreams and thank you.

All the complexity and wonder of the great prodigy himself .Wondrous wordsmithing.
