The Songster

We listened to her as she sang
She sat there in black, singing slowly, soulfully, beautifully
She sang a song vaguely familiar
She sang it like I had never heard it
Without her voice, the song was ugly
Without the soul she poured into it, the song was dead
She gave it new meaning, new energy, new life
And I sat there absorbed, spellbound
Praying for her not to stop
Praying for the song filling my ears and lifting my spirit never ends
