IN OTHERS WORDS
you may have noticed by now that I love words... writing is thinking aloud for me... reading is thinking with someone else's mind (know who got credit for saying that first?)... and songs can inject energy into words as a human voice mixed with music takes literal expression to visceral extremes... here you will find some words I did not write that either seduce me or touch me in meaningful ways to inspire enough emotion to want them as part of my written gardens... sometimes, I just with I had written them myself J I tip my hat and applaud the words and their authors here... and would welcome each of them to call or write or knock on my door anytime... |
blending words and music... while Harry Chapin is the single strongest individual influence I've chosen, other songwriters are a part of me, expressing my thoughts and feelings through words and music... these links will take you to just a few of the writers and songs I find meaningful... sometimes the words are so close to my core I feel they were written by a shared spirit... sometimes they express moments experienced in this life as I've lived it so well, they become tangible records of memories of this life I've lived... sometimes a dream, sometimes a fantasy, and sometimes I just like the experience the words and/or music provides... there is more to life than words and music, but I know without them, life would be much less for me... _______________________ |
sharing the written words... trying to sort writing into three categories as I have here may be amusing (and hopefully not confusing) as the only clear distinctions I might accept is that lyrics have been written down with music and poetry has some sort of form without musical notes attached... and yet, most writing crosses the lines often... that may be why prose is in the middle... to the right there shall be melodic writing that has some physical and literary structure but no written music... to the left, add music... and here, all the rest... some published and known, some found on the web or in the mail and perhaps not so well known... but again, reflections of part of me... in most cases, had I not found these, I'd have needed to write them, for they express things I feel need to be said... _______________________ |
reading songs without music... finding melody in meter... touching senses with words... finally there is a place for words that inspire me in this little piece of the web world... the higher... the fewer... poetry is emotion, literally and literary feelings that can inspire your heart to surge faster or tears to fall from your eyes... some feelings are very welcome, some are very unwelcome... some are scary, some can set you free, some can knock you way down, some are supposed to be just for adults only... so perhaps this needs a disclaimer - read at your own risk... the words here compelled me to post them... you are not compelled to read, but if you love poetry... you have found some I'm proud to share... _______________________ |
