Sunlite Wanter Poet Sonnet

Shattering Symbols

Shattering Symbols

Sometimes I feel shattered between symbols,
A musician crashes me side to side,
I plan quiet and peaceful meditation,
Then life takes me for an unscheduled ride.

The world comes down with its pressing problems,
The symbols clang and squeeze my aching head;
Musicians’ drums beating,  so demanding;
Oh, for soft pianissimo instead.

The breeze and wind songs of flute and oboe,
Hover the symbols’ overbearing blare;
With sweetness overwhelm the symbols’ thrust,
Then sweet life’s harmony returns its flair.

Everywhere Walt Disney birds are tweeting,
A musical garden perfumes the air.
