Musical Tracks
Musical Tracks
A train speeds by
with wheels sparking
Squeals against the track
has the dogs barking
Shaking floor announces
the presence of its passing
Conversations suffer from
the train's harassing
Loose shutters slap
against the house walls
A picture falls to the
floor down the hall
Winds find gaps
whistling through
House sings a tune
from a coal miners crew
Rustling leaves from
an old oak tree and
A tapping trellis
beats with a plea
Sounding objects
create a musical show
Playing in unison
inside a poetic prose
The chatter within
has a cadence effect
When all is combined a
generational song reflects
A song grew from the
process of growing
I can hear the chorus
while it is softly flowing
Families filled the house
With their spiritual essence
Each generation saturated their
heritage with His presence
Their surrounding's beat
with a faithful pulse
Traditions turned their
live's into a historical waltz
