Notes About The Poem

Letting Go of Reality

 

To let go of reality . . .  with mozart playing
I close my eyes and I am a beautiful blue bird fluttering
Drifting on the wind, I soar
Over emerald valleys deep and cold streams winding
My wings tremble and quiver
Upon a weeping willow with her hanging head, I rest
And I dip my beak into the cold aqua water
This is the power of music
It will take you far from your reality-    if you let it
High above I  look down on a flower meadow
Hover, then glide on a cool breeze
Truly, I am a blue bird fluttering
A forest with a cathedral dome embraces me with love
I want to stop and pray and do sing a blue bird song
A cliff high and a garden lovely
I just let go . . .  of reality
And float in a sweet reverie with no pain or sorrow
The music is my soul
My muse the wings that flutter
Sublime and divine is this dance
Spinning, twirling, whirling, twisting
A tangle of my imagination and mozart, entwine, mingle
Then, I am falling, falling, falling
Back into my earthly reality . . . .
