Lighting Walls And Gospel Songs

This is for the latest Vocal Challenge “Uncommon”, which is to write a poem about something rare. You can read about the challenge below.

I was considering writing about my Vocal Challenge Win or Placement but such things for me are not rare they are non-existent and will not happen (I have been assured by a few Vocal experts) so I decided to take a different tack, and a couple of times in my life I have taken part in once in a lifetime experiences, On was being part of a Gospel Choir that backed Solon Burke at The Sage in Gateshead and you can read about below.

The other is being part of the Lighting of Hadrian’s Wall which you can read about below.

So this is a villanelle about being part of a once-in-a-lifetime or historical event. You may only be a tiny cog in that piece of machinery but you became part of history by doing that or in this case I did.

Hadrian’s Wall, Roman Story

On Ancient Stones Our Flames Were Seen

These Times Are Such A Rarity

I Learned The Words So I Could Sing

With Solomon Burke By The Tyne

To Become Part Of History

There We Sang None Of Us Are Free

On Stage At The Sage, We Did Sing

These Times Are Such A Rarity

🔥❤️✨❤️🔥

I Held A Torch, The Wall Was Lit

Words I Sang, None Of Us Are Free

To Become Part Of History

These Times Are Such A Rarity
