Just Take It All In

Just listening to Eric Johnson's "Ah Via Musicom," reading, and thinking of winter constellations.

The music is saturating all around

you are quite amazed at what you found

hearing some lyrics

you read and look

at the pages of some book

 

and to your surprise

right before your eyes

is that very word

your ears just heard

 

The winter night sky above

you stop to admire with love

seeing a shooting star

...stops your heartbeat

in time to see it streak

 

and soon you realize

right before your eyes

the cold begins to melt

it’s that miracle your heart felt

Miracle your heart felt That is what i depend on quite often as i cannot effect outcomes as i once could

Beautiful poem Pat :) As always you manage to squeeze as much meaning as humanly possible out of a very few words. Well done :)

an amazing write

This was amazing. Well you know I'm a suck for music so those first two stanzas really had my attention. And then the poem turned out to have an extremely deep meaning. Very beautiful! Great stuff Analog Kid!

A amazing poem. A person with wide open eyes can see miracles in the free and simple thing that surround his life. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

Nice job Pat. The words flow so well together. That's a great song too. Forty mile town is one of my favorite Johnson songs. There's another called "once apart of me", that's really good too. Great job.
