Albatross (by Fleetwood Mac)

My all time favourite piece of music....

Such a haunting melody that floats over the passage of time

Evocative … causing images to fill my mind….

A steamy rainforest is conjured up at will

And the peaks of the Himalayas rise evermore

It reaches my soul as the notes sing deep inside

I feel the warmth of the Caribbean and the cold of the Antarctic combined

Amazing things are happening in my mind as I let the music flow

It brings me warmth and peace ….

And an eternal view…

Heaven drifts before me ..with a promise of eternity

The notes carry me above the clouds .. taking me to the sun

Away from earthly feelings .. into a world of maybe and possibly

Of beauty and tranquility …

I am at peace ………………….

The guitar sings a soliloquy to itself …

Lifting me into a world of contentment …

Saving my mind .. filling my very being

I am the strings as the music swells ….

I am .. Albatross………….

A fantastic tribute for a great piece of music. I like the way you describe yourself as though you are sitting back lost in thought whilst the music washes over you bringing poetic images.

Beautiful poem Phil, as I was reading your lines I could hear the song playing in my mind conjuring up the things you wrote about, you are right such a wonderful song......

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

I believe I have heard that song before, it's a nice song. Serene and peaceful-like lyrics.
