Soul burst forth sweet

Soul burst forth sweet

Soul burst forth sweet
music that heart composed

with power to mesmerize
and gel in memories hide.

His varied repertoire
intricate and complex,

surprise change of tempo
to stretch high notes and low;

An artist who poured
all into the setting sun

through twilight hours
piped song to starlit sky

his voice transparent
pierced the covert night

In the nightingale’s song
a natural gift takes flight.
