Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Life is a Song

Written: January 2nd, 2023, For Ink Empress Contest

Rumi verse" Sing to me in the silence of your heart and I will rise up to hear your triumphant song"
             ________________________________________

Life is a symphonic cynosure
a charming composition
sung in tune noisily in tandem
merriment liberates us
spread the tunes of life
a ready-made ubiquitous syntax
moon voices Jukebox heart
Iron harps croon the days
I used to walk Elvis line in his heyday.

Twilight dream orchestrator
soars on silver wings
across the eerie sea
past raven-singing islets
race the clock
swap hourglass sand
reset to our first trip,
let's foster solid walls.

Life is a bittersweet symphony.
Love, laughter,
and silent dreams
In verses, rhythm begins
Steering us via life's curveballs
a calm ballad may be feasible
dreamlike memory
dusty paths to neon-lit roadways
catching dreams, sailing
weeping as a lone harp
I'm queueing until death
to travel as a country song
via onomatopoeia syntax
a metonymy, twangy melody.

paint hope on breeze
as moonlight amid trees
or pearly umbrella stars
dancing in cosmic black sea
dark orchestra conductor
revive ancient music
until ivory beams last.

Life is a melody to be sung
play it gently as a drumbeat
life serenade in riptide
years notes strum
cosmic tapestry links us to poetry
spirits dance in unison,
life is akin to writing a song,
with our key and tone
each life has a meaning,
we pick the theme and chorus
a song bearing our name
an inclusive rhythm
life's a tune.

Paula Goldsmith January 3, 2024 at 8:44 AM WOW!!! I enjoyed reading your lovely write/great ending/pretty picture. Good Luck... Looks like we both did this one. Have a blessed day writing away...........

Silent One January 3, 2024 at 6:59 AM This poem beautifully captures the essence of life as a symphonic journey, a composition that harmonizes the highs and lows, joys, and challenges. The use of musical imagery, from 'moon voices Jukebox heart' to 'Iron harps croon the days,' adds a melodic quality to the verses.. skillfully navigates through various metaphors, creating a rich emotions. The contrast between the 'Twilight dream orchestrator' soaring on 'silver wings' and the 'dark orchestra conductor' adds depth to the exploration.
