Pedal Point Prayer

 

Under a rising sun of subtlety

may I lead a life

of contemplative harmony

in an aria of melodious rhapsody.

 

And with the mystery of voice,

its timbre dulcet and mellow,

be honest in lyrics,

truthful in tone,

unadulterated in cadence,

mellifluously delineating sharps and flats,

 

projecting acoustic emotion

that infuses the soul

with its perfection in pitch.

 

And like the idyll of a nightingale

touch others with the octave of my sound.

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: Western Australia, AUS

Favorite Poets: Favourite poets? So many, so varied. I like particular songs, not necessarily the singer... and the same goes for poetry. I can honestly say though, that Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman was what inspired my love of poetry - my mother began reading it to me when I was still a baby, and it became my favourite bedtime story

Loved ithe poem, flows well until the last line, maybe you could say ' touch others with the lyric of my soul," or octave of my soul. Love lou xx
