Happening 90 Ear Candy

my mind
     is circling
with
thoughts&
              memories:
higher
higher
       the sounds
       take me...
...to a land of
            contentment:
an interlude 
from
      the commonplace

inspired by Shenandoah clip

You are a master of the short form, (along with my dear friend Mo), and convey such wonderful imagery and emotion in so few words. This is why I adore short forms so, because they force us (as writers) to learn how to maximize word usage and meaning, and not waste time or energy on "fluff". There is SO much propensity among budding poets to stuff their works with "big" words and fancy phrasing for the sake of appearing eloquent and intelligent, and it turns me off. This is superbly done.
