She said her name was Angel
and it wasnt hard to believe
for when she played the saddest music
the heavens gave her audience.
They'd write poems about her voice
yet she chose to sing to me
and when she played the saddest music
the whole world stopped to listen.
Her falling tears created percussion
only angels cried such miracles
cos when she played the saddest music
the oceans fell silent to hear it.
No one ever knew her lyrics
though she sang them every night
but when she played the saddest music
time paused to pay her attention.
If I could hear her song once more
then maybe I could unlearn it
Oh! how she played the saddest music
the sound of a heart as it breaks.

This is a very moving poem. It talks, it sings, it ploughs, it breaks fallow ground.
i'm gonna write a blog about the breaking of hearts... one day...
