ONE VOICE ( I . P. )

Posted by skinner_jennifer on June 14, 2011 - 12:19
from the ABC set Poems

Melodious harmonies echo
rising high into the dome
inspiring...uplifting me,

note for note flawless...
sweet - sounding with
colourful tones,

the aromatic fragrance of
incense adds to the mood
painting an atmosphere,

aesthetic sounds...
created from voice alone
Mediaeval Angels chant,

they beat out their rhythm,
hypnotic sounds invisibly -
coil...intertwine through air,

sounds that take me
to another place...
another time.

This transcends like incense to the ears of God

Hi there, Jenny. This is a lovely take on the I.P.

Just a tiny point, I think you mean 'melodious' in the first line.

I like this stanza, especially:-

"they beat out their rhythm,
hypnotic sounds invisibly -
coil...intertwine through air..."

Just beautiful;-)

Hello mcscraic,

that's a wonderful way to look at this poem.

Thankyou for reading and letting me know.

Jenny.

Hi Tina,

yes you're right about that word, so I've put it
right.

I'm glad you could capture the spirit of those
lines, because the music really does that to me.

thankyou so much for letting me know and reading,
ofcourse and the help, always much appreciated.

Jenny.

This poem made me think of a place for meditating. A great one for the IP Jenny. Very atmospheric indeed.

Thanks so much Pia,

I was listening to the Mediaeval Babes today, and
this kind of came into my head. They are a french
group of girls and they sing like Angels, simply
beautiful.

I'm glad you liked it and thankyou for telling me.

Jenny.

new skinner_jennifer
Really enjoyed this.
Incense and angel's
very angelic. Uplifting to me,
I feel sleepy already. Only joking.
Reminds of year's at church and incense
used at some, not been over 6 months.
Well who cares now, some priests did all for me moved on different. I am busy doing something or having long lay in.Used to be so busy there, in helping it was great.
Now no one notifies anyone even if sick? Peculiar world. Quiet music no words yes, is so relaxing.
Or tapes. Lines
Sounds that take me
to another place..
another time.
yes, I too say good poem for the (IP)

Hi julie,

thankyou so much for your long newsy comment. You
know my theory is, that you really need to look after
yourself before you can think of others, because if
your energy is not there, then you cannot be there
for others, if you know what I mean.

I really do love to listen to beautiful angelic
voices, it relaxes me so much, also love to meditate
with incense. I'm really glad that you could capture
the essence of this piece, and thankyou so much for
letting me know.

Hope you have a great and peaceful weekend.

Jenny.

Music can do a lot right :) lovely poem K

Hi Kahdai,

yes music certainly can do a lot, where would we be
without it? I find music always uplifts and inspires
me, no matter how I feel. It also conjures up feelings of the past, another great reason for having
music.

Glad you liked this poem and thankyou for letting me
know.

Jenny.
