James

Listening and soaking up a gorgeous new song, sung and written by the wonderful James Morrison, I wanted to put down my thoughts and feelings inspired and evoked by his words and his music:


Silence of the room
musical sweetness
seeps into my being,
through my ears
reaching my heart
and weakened soul;
Quickening of pulse rate
as crisp, melancholy
melodic,
electric guitar
expertly
and tenderly
plucks and strums
just the right note
at precisely the right time.
Soulful, husky,
pleading
rasping voice,
as James sings his
well-written words
in his most
emotional way;
a way
only a sufferer
or victim of heartbreak
could possibly
empathise
and
relate to;
tearing into
a place
well-hidden,
away from
predators
and fakers
capable of
bruising my soul
and
breaking my heart
