ode to troubadour

soothing songs that warm my heart
i wonder, why would you depart
at prime of passion and so calm
i try to understand your harm

imagination, coloured moon
those words to feel, and world festoon
as bryter fades towards your skies
each listener wonders as he cries

the seasons turn but not your soul
what’re we try cannot be whole
but know, we see you through each word
forever, celestial poetry heard

©2005 Hey Hey

You are such a brilliant poet...your words bring me joy and peace
Thank you Hey Hey...

and your words are very gratefully received, dearest Unknown
