Poem Commentary

it started in a conversation with friends the first 2 lines.

Song

Words to charm the Devil's Smile.
Sounds to sooth the Angel's Ire .
Held in the hands of A child,
Given to the world in the gift of song.

Things we will never understand,
Gifts we will always treasure.
Something beyond the knowlage of the mind,
Words spoken softly by the soul.

Gifts given by the gods of old.
A simple thing that sooths the ravaged Soul,
Words beyond that which is spoken,
Sounds beyond that which is heard.

A Glimpse of simple perfection,
In the blending of voice and sound.
A symbol of hope,
Even in the darkest hours.

Raise once more your voice,
And sing to me Blessed Angel.
As you have before,
As you do now,
As I hope you always shall.

Gifted singers of songs hold a high place in the pulic's admiration. the best of these are all but worshipped as recent events attest. Why is this so? It's as you say, one of those "Things we will never understand".

A unique take on how 'music can sooth the savage beast' in all of us. Or at least that's what i got out of this write. Way to go!....Ya' had to go and make me think!!!! I hate that. Good job.

i am glad you enjoyed it

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
