a concert

(I promised a poem about the Buble concert - well... it's partly about the concert at least :)

we didn’t wait for the moment -

lights went down, lights came up -

it would have happened without us -

but we were there, and it was good, -

and when the lights went down for the main show

a kiss


when the lights came up,we heard,

love songs, love songs, love songs

sung by a self effacing, self proclaimed

"wanna-be" hockey player

it felt, exclusively, as it should,

it was only for her, for me, for we two

those love songs, from everything, to home

to stardust and back, were sung for us

we held hands, leaned into each other

straining to hear it all,

beckoned by name,

draw closer to the song,

draw closer to each other


we applauded, the ovation, the curtain call,

the encore, "singing my song for you"

we walked to the truck

drove home, game over

we had fallen

together

tumbled

struck down

by love

every meese that's stupid enough to come in my bedroom and enter the mystical cube of peanut butter and no escape and wake me up at three in the morning.

Buble is indeed a phenomenon. Its great to experience the talents of a person who is in his element. His life choices encourage other people to follow their passions and live their own dreams.

The poem is so exuberant! A powerful source of inspiration; the combination of love and your favorite musician singing love songs.
