El Corazon
for Pablo Flores (South American Musician)
A poem
in words so strange
it's language is unknown
but in the power of the speaking
in the moving of the hands
in the expression of a face
there is the heart
es el corazon
beating strong
singing strong
stirring souls
and we hear
and we see
that beyond this place
es la gloria
la gloria

Nice to find myself here. It's a good place to be.
Pablo Flores, resident, of all places, in Effingham NH, is an amazing person, a gited musician, immersed in the traditional music of Latin America, a powerful performer, and a gifted poet, educated in both music and theology, and, most important of all, a truly good guy.
I heard him perform one of his poems en espanol.
I do not understand the language, but his passionate performance led me (and the audience) to understand the poem anyway. My little piece, with a couple of his Spanish phrases that I did catch, came out of that performance and Pablo expressed his appreciation.

Thanks, Ed. I love when the creativity of one poet stimulates the creativity of another.
There are many evocative and moving poems in your new chapbook. I intend to publish more in the weeks ahead.
