The "Zone"

A circle of light
blanketed her with
a warm glow
as she stood alone
at center stage facing
an audience of judges
and admiring fans.
Magical colored circles
danced around her body
And the band

began to play.


The fans applauded
as she began to sing.
and soon,
becoming one
with her music,
her eyes dreamily closed
And she disappeared
into her song.
And the audience

followed.

My inspiration for this piece was a combination of American Idol and Jewel (who disappears into her music when she sings)

    The thought of her taking the audience with her to this place, has an incredible ending impact. It says a lot without saying anything. That was your strongest point.

      Thank you, Oh.My.Juliet
      I am glad you can appreciate this piece.
      As an artist and writer, I have experienced this state of mind many times, so I wanted to try to explain it to the reader. I was inspired by the singer Jewel who closes her eyes whenever she sings a song that places her in that state of mind.

    BEAUTIFUL

    the imagery was wonderful,,, I felt as if I was there,,,, thank you for sharing your talent through this piece,,,,MICHAEL

    p.s. i felt somewhat nervous as the poem started, putting myself in the singers "Spotlight" (and knowing how uncomfortable that is for me) and as she "Closed her eyes" and lost herself into the song,,,, I too relaxed) very nicely done

    Fantastic observations here putting ink to poetic paper. I can visualize this event taking place,and have known such moments too. From both sides of the footlights.One has to of known such an experience to of penned it so well.Curious am I now to know who the songbird might have been.

      Thanks Suseann,
      Good to see you again my friend. To answer your question, the songbird that inspired me to write this poem was Jewel. (my favorite singer)
