Just enjoying the moment(s)

Yaesss, Todder.  Love those first two lines--the sliding and the depositing.  Small matter: lose the comma in line 6.  Nice touch to associate the religious song with the secular songs.  By the way, if you drop the "n" from "song," you get "sog."  Sounds wonderfully Old English.

Is the Fine Arts College Program different from the Resurrection Sunday program?  I assume so, but a reader might interpret that both singers are in the same program.

TODD, I would just enjoy the melody and later in pensive
mood I would search for the meanings and probably
find the connection.

Interesting how the language alone almost hides
the meaning.

Grrrrr.  This is my 3rd attempt to critique this poem.  No telling what I'll say.  Take it with a grain of salt.

Grandkid-wildness/joy here all weekend and computer battery died with no warning!   Okay, I'm plugged in.  Another go at it.

 

I expected the persona to be a singer, but it was not.  It reminded me of an opera I attended in Memphis, Italian and German I think.  I had the stage set, a short summary and the music.  I did not understand much of what I saw and heard.

First 3 lines help me know where I am and what's happening.

4th and 5th lines:  Wow!  The heart for me.

No need for integrated Fine Arts...... not helpful to me, distracting too

Love:  Another growls German....

You have 3  "that's".  Why?  prose-like and distracting to me.

I'd put "love is difficult" on one line.  More powerful, in my opinion.  It's indented, so we won't miss it.

What if you said:  convinces me: / love is difficult/and I can love her only for love etc....

I like the last two lines for closure.  4442:  it works.

Not sure about this title.  Of course I'm hunting for the best reason and found a best reason for listening. . . . but  I failed to get the best reason for singing....

I really like what you are saying here. . . such depth.
