      • “vivid as wildflowers” I might steal this line sometime! This beats for me as a song, it has the rhyme and the musical tune, and I can’t help but to remember “wind of change” yes the 80th song, because all I can think of is this poem being a revolutionary song and since the title is “Love” it even holds more power, great poem my friend, it radiates with enthusiastic energy.

        • steal away, my friend, steal away. we are, you know, wildflowers. we bloom in so many different varieties, so many different colors. thanks, Light, for your presence.

      • Well, I am glad I found you here, my friend. You are so welcome here and your voice is needed to give this piece the additional life it can have. Your words are very powerful, and I feel the song in it before you have given it that extra bit of life. So well written. I had no idea you were a revolutionary. Curt. Outstanding work! I look forward to hearing it. Please alert me when it is done.

        • Thanks FlatDaddy, I appreciate your words here. I am still working on the audio, so I will let you know when it is added. Sorry about the closing of the Spoken Word space here at SR it would have been fun. Thanks too, for the encouragement.

      • Your poem is amazing, absolutely amazing, dear Curt! To me love isn’t a feeling, it’s a state of being. When you become love, you will be the wildflower, the deep blue ocean and the bird song, the world needs to feel, hear and see to develop. By being the personification of love you help the whole world to become a better place!
        The rhythm and flow of your poem is superb, it calls out for becoming a song.

        • Hi Sappho, we humans NEED art, and I think as poets it is our responsibility to be part of making the world a better place, to be the wildflowers who associate and pollinate a world with life and color. Thanks for your visit Sappho.

      • This sounds so good. Your writing is amazing.

      • This is an amazing accomplishment, my friend. All of the references to technology, and the way you use them is like candy — so sweet and perfect. I just want to stop for a moment and admire phrases like, “We’re floppy disks in the age of air,” or, “The signal fades like a VHS tape,”and so many others. So beautiful in so many ways: the words, the music all meld into a magical achievement. Why the hell aren’t you famous?

        • Thank you FlatDaddy! I wanted to write something fun and light. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

          • Enjoyed it? I jumped up and kissed the screen! Okay, I didn’t do that, but I could have. Just marvelous work.

      • Cleverly penned, Drieks. Amazing lyrics my friend loved the technological wordplay. Excellent work as always with the arrangement. Appreciate you.

      • FD said I had to come, listen/read your words. I am so glad I did. Loved the word play, the technology references, damn, the whole song. Many snaps and a bag of chips!!!
