The Idea of Music

The Idea of Music 

Only her own music 
Can she hear. It starts
And stays in the brain...
No body movement. 
But that's her way. 
Night falls over her as
Music and style breed art.
Her performance, her
Logic is one, or two, or
In a group. Ideas put her 
In motion. 

Shifting positions she'll 
Romance the wind. Her 
Body apart, but in line
With her mind as she
Circles the stage. To think
As choreography in space, 
Considering the motion to 
Whirl or just foot it. She's 
Breathing in, the haling 
Songs, the vigor of 
Patterns in time.

Hi Julie. This is a beautiful poem that seems to speak of the music that resonates within us all but is often times not heard because of the noise around us. A wonderful poem and a pleasure to read. Thanks for sharing..... Robert.
