Notes About The Poem

For contest

Spontaneity

discarding narrow thought flow crutch

we learn directly by soft touch

and what we garner we relay

to the vast void in childlike play

entwined thus with the universe

we dance without need to rehearse"

We sing heart songs making up the winged words
As we go along amethyst path undisturbed
Music we make brings about purple peace
We are indigo instruments beautiful and unique 
For gold soul music is you it is me
The light uses us spontaneity 

Painting the universe in rainbow shades
Dancing romancing with step’s homemade 
No need to worry about a teal thing
We exist to persevere life’s jade journey 

No need to fear making maroon mistakes
Throw it in the bowl we’re making lime life cake
From the sour lemons make sweet lemonade 
Despite discouraging demons we keep faith
To trust green gut finding fuchsia way
And turquoise touch in happy gypsy day
