Invisibility is not a disadvantage

Image: A Singing Voice (here)

the 12 given words:
voice sing joyful dumb words without
noise means 
primal (of first importance)
plaintive (expressing sorrow)
trills (to sing in a succession of rapidly alternating sounds)
banal (lacking force or originality)

It is connecting in whatever circumstances
The beauty of a God-given gift
bestowed to the select few
The King, Old Blue Eyes
Michael's moon-walk
Satchmo's resounding wind-pipes
and many more
Invisibility is not a disadvantage
With the voice they sing and
are not even physically seen
Perhaps primal of awareness,
joyful or plaintive, trills or otherwise all precede their reputations
nowhere banal without doubt
a blessing to mankind

The deprived can be dumb but words
are necessarily noises in regulated forms
articulated as a means or as a medium
of intrusion into the sane minds
Throw in poetry and story-writing
to complete the loop
How most fortunate the creative juices
are flowing freely, rightly so!

  1. rightly so!
    Some mighty imaginative phrases in here--
    I like " noises in regulated forms."

  2. I love the middle stanza starting with The King and ending with Satchmo. Itvis required to italicize the required words? It seems to read better without the words being in italics.
