For Gregorian

Before we move on to today's poem, a bit of an explanation is in order. GREGORIAN is an English-German band playing Pop/Rock hits in the style of medieval monks. Besides doing covers of famous songs, they also create there own original music. 

I've been a massive fan of theirs since 2004. In 2014, I got a chance to see them perform and talk to them afterwards. The fallowing poem is made up from the lyrics of various song titles/lyrics that Gregorian either created or covered over the years (shown in Bold). A little token of my appreciation for them, which they were very moved by...

No matter where in this Mad World
I've been
(In Poland, or the USA),

For ten years straight,
You've been with me
Through thick and thin.

As this lovely
Evening Falls
Allow me now
To Thank You all.

Please accept this humble "Hymn"
As a token of gratitude
For realising my big, big dream...*

Your music, My Friends, soothes me
In times of Sadness or fear.
Oh, what a Lucky Man I am!
It's so wonderful
To Be with you now here...

Dear Gregorian,
You will never know
How much you mean to me.
With you, I Feel Free...

Worry and hardships
Just Fade to Grey...

Your beautiful Chants
Are like a Miracle Of Love.

My Weakened Soul
Has been Running Up That Hill,
Away from this Ordinary World
Where The Streets Have No Name...

Walking through The Forest
I whispered silently:
"Send Me An Angel,
And a Kiss From A Rose"...

I came upon the Fields of Gold
And what a magical sight I did behold –

Amelia, like Bonnie Portmore
You shine where you stand
With all the monks around you,
Together singing Gloria and Hallelujah
And Dancing in the Snow...

You all smiled at me:
"Hush now, don't you cry,
Wipe away that teardrop from your eye"...

That was The Gift
You gave me, our sweet encounter:
"When times get rough,
You can fall back on us".

You accepted me
Into The Circle of your friendship:
"Come now, come by our side
To a place where you can hide"...

Then, upon a Silent Night,
You swept me away
On a musical Voyage Voyage.
With each new Album you still do,
To this day...

*

And now,
I'm smiling next to you
In the Silent Lucidity of my happiness,
Loving Angels instead...

Here in my heart you will always
Stay (forever So Close, never Far Away).

Until one day I will
Close My Eyes Forever,

Go to a place
Where The Wild Roses Grow
To share in Heaven
A Moment of Peace eternally...
