Listening to Music Within (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781665718608)

I took a road traveled less, gazing at the splendid sea, feeling on her sandy shores softest cotton 'neath my feet. Comely clouds in crowds above, I viewed dancing in heaven, bidding one watch their ballet prancing in white against blue. A poem reveals what the poet hears. The poetic journey does not consist of finding new suns or moons or stars, but in discovering new ears to gain fresh insights into what is real. In short, poetry is a mirror in which one can see beyond the self. In a debut collection that combines classical and modern styles, Gus Wilhelmy shares poems that reflect on diverse experiences in life that include love, charming ladies, and old man's night, nature, squirrels, old rugs, spectacles, bars, cranes, swans, a winter night, and much more as he sees the grace and unique beauty in the ordinary as well as the practical nuts and bolts of life. Listening to Music Within is a volume of free verse that lyrically explores the observations and experiences of a married priest as he reminds us there is beauty everywhere.
