The title threw me at first, but after reading and clicking play, I did as the words suggested. I closed my eyes and listened with new ones. Well done.

This is a lovely video and the song is most beautiful. I love the soothing effect it has. However, I'm confused as the post is listed as Free Style. I see no poem so is my page missing something?

    Yes, there's supposed to be a poem embeded into a picture. I'll try and add it here and see if it goes through to you. Someone else said the same thing, but most people see it okay. :))

-Very nicely penned poem over a romantic photo with lovely music.
-Interesting style that doesn't require a lot of words to express your feelings.
-The message I get is: understand me, listen, as
"you are all around me
free to be."
-You are everything to me, "but only if you hear me."
-A love as profound as this "is rare."

A sense poem
that makes sense
musical notes sounding softly
as fingertips lightly touch keys
to locked doors and hidden desires
a pianist speaking through music
a poet speaking through words
with the exotic wonder of the African wind
for it is rare, indeed
Reminds me a bit of a poem I posted not long age, A Tale of Almost
One speaking through light, the other through sound
both touching essence
softly
Had I but six African breezes
they would be yours
But five African stars is all that's left
Twill have to do

your reader away...just like the
wind. Well done. No nits. Lora
