Premium Member Life's soundtrack


 Awesome sunset, silence talks, only the birds' soundtrack on.
A huge red sun sinks into the sea, the horizon is the artist
painting different pictures to admire. What a magnificent show our nature offers to our eyes!.

The dream of living is real while we can contemplate what it touches our depths.
When nothing moves our interior, we are just flesh and bones walking around as chickens with no head.

Changes make us different people. Most of the time we fall into deep pits instead of seeing what is around us, or harvesting something better to collect and feel ourselves more satisfied.

Listen to your life's soundtrack, be the main character in this performance where you only have one chance.

The Soundtrack of Hamilton

The soundtrack of “Hamilton”
Gives me a lift
Which is better, to me,
Than a typical gift.

From the opening chords
(Which repeat several times),
I am steeped in delight
By the music and rhymes.

Sitting still’s not a choice
When the rapping begins 
And no matter your tastes,
Every listener wins.

If you’ve somehow missed out,
Please take me at my word
For the “Hamilton” songs 
Are the best you’ll have heard.

The Soundtrack

A baby cries, the ferry toots;
A dog will not stop yapping.
A sparrow chirps, the traffic hums;
A flag is gently flapping.

A jogger’s footfalls pound the path;
A motorboat goes chugging.
A barge, though large, makes quiet splashes
With its tugboat tugging.

Bits of conversations drift;
A radio starts blasting.
Urban peace is something that
You cannot count on lasting.

Still, out on the esplanade,
In sunshine, all is pretty,
As here I sit and listen to
The soundtrack of the city.


Premium Member Soundtrack-

My voice covers the barriers ground 
It travels through the speed of sound 
So clearest you hear it resounding vibrating 
The essence of the annunciation so fraughtless 
So bound I speak I say I seen I pray I talk 
Not a lot yet I speak from out my voice box 
I resonate I disengage I speak and quietest I speak and rage 
Abundantly bound this is my sound I speak for the speechless I talk and I shake
 I speak for the burdens of those that can't...

Music Is the Soundtrack of Life

In this world all is musical...
The smile is a joyful song,
crying is a sad chant...
 All perform music ...
The birds,
the rivers,
the waterfalls
the waves of the sea... until
silence is music for who
can hear...
Music in life,
is the soundtrack
  that accompanies us,
ever... !

Premium Member Soundtrack To the Sky

I could float in space 
I’d hear you in the silence;
Echoing so loud 
an unplanned discovery;
You’re the soundtrack to the sky.


Premium Member Radio Ghosts Soundtrack

Radio Ghosts Soundtrack
David J Walker

Can you fine-tune the voice of the
Ghosts in your radio?

The choice, the ones you used to know
Who entertained 
Between the records and the fame of 
The famous

Can you recall the names
Of those now nameless

And places and faces of those
Who shared the experiences
Effecting your life

The echoes tuned to another 
Time and place

Creating the soundtrack 
For your life

Soundtrack

Have you ever heard a song that you feel with all your might
The melody, the tune, the chords hit you just right
Have you ever heard lyrics so powerful you cry
Giving the strength needed to give it one more try
At the top of your lungs poured your heart out 
Danced around the room a little twist and shout
Has it brought back a memory you thought was long gone
Helped you ease your pain, helped you move on
Dedicated one to a certain special lover
One that explains your bond with another
Powers both fears and dreams, it depends on the beat
Brought you to your knees, stood you back up on your feet
My life is like a soundtrack, a tune for every mood
No matter the genre, I've always been glued
Ever since I was a child, I could feel it in my soul
Mama sang and danced, Daddy rocked and rolled 
Music is in my roots, what else can I say
Music is in my words, so just sit back and press play

86,400 Seconds

86, 400 seconds each day,

How many of them would you like to stay?

Kiss me one silent night

And I’ll answer you with my silence

Or I will write

Replying through a poem,

Or a 7 page short thought

You said it’s like a review

And that may be true.

The place where I’ve abandoned myself,

A blue pillowcase and a bookshelf

A street that I thought that I know, 

but I didn’t

A button and number 7,

The elevator and I was close to heaven.

Your arms-strong

and my fingers shaking,

Something inside of me 

both building and breaking

My whispers,

The soundtrack to your dreams

All is well,

Or so it seems.

The Soundtrack To My Youth

I remember the old songs
Always to play and sing along

The Beatles play a Hard Day’s Night in Liverpool rhymes 
And Elvis sings we can’t go on together with Suspicious Minds
With Mick from the Stones struts Gimme Shelter is the rule
And Linda sings Blue Bayou soulful and cool 

What do I get out of these melodies
It’s the sound track of my youth so precious to me
And on a CD or download giving them flight
But hearing them on vinyl is an earned right

It doesn’t matter which song you play
Let it make you smile forever stay.

The Days Soundtrack

I like hearing hip-hop, jazz, blues, pop
 The metal and rock
 The gospel, soul, slow jams of old r&b
 and yeah sometimes a little orchestra and symphony
 I like them all
 I would play them once and rewind to play them back
 But sometimes I take out the earphones 
 To listens to the days soundtrack

I walk up my street 
 Listening as my heart supplies a beat
 Changing rhythm to the pace of the fall of my feet
 It beats like a drum
 And the bees begin to hum 
 To the flowers in bloom
 The wind’s whistle tickles the leaves 
 Of the trees that sway to the tune
 Birds of all kinds sing a chorus for me to hear
 As their soft songs fill my ears
the dog from a street over opens his jowls
 And let’s loose his off-keys howls
 Engines growl as cars began to prowl
 A jet roars as it soars through the skies 
 And then there’s laughter and yells from little kids playing outside

I listen as these sounds surround me 
And I accept their embrace
This ain’t ordinary music 
This is the days 
Soundtrack

Uncover a Soundtrack

These footsteps are a dotted line
A pulsating heartbeat on a timeline
Your curiosity fills in the blank spots
Guessing which stereotype‘s my blind spot

You can plot a healthy graph from my bounce
I own the future today ‘cos, “you only live once”
I believe in the streets, live on the beat
I was born ready so bring on the heat

My words are like sirens and teargas
They water eyes and numb earshot targets
The lovechild of Botha and Madiba in a steamer
My forefathers were visionaries so I’m just a dreamer

A polarized blend of explosive flavours
When love meets hate, call it jungle fever
Conscientised to awaken from this oppressive Matrix
As the sands of time cover my tracks, I uncover a soundtrack

Soundtrack of My Literary Career

Heresy...spell of the gods and the angelically demonic last temptation and passion of jesus christ superstar of montreal corpus christi and paris....
Or....the Writings Of Lewis Findley
________________

Lucilla invictus sings her song and opens her door
A bright chartreuce caboose as she waltzes cross the floor/?
Or maybe one of rising sun happy and mellow
Beware for the clockwork is bright orange o that fellow
Red alert. And rockets fired across the entire earth
Soon I am marooned and teran to give birth
 Zero hour nuclear night ...grandeose of sorrow
Two days have passed...it is the first day past. The morrow
Now the truce is called , it was all .....in retrospect...somewhat scary
The next generation tahes the reins as I go to sanctuary

Changing the Soundtrack

(the bells of St.John the Baptist, Devizes, go Pete Tong)
 
Sunday, summer, church bells chiming
Ringing patterns, sounding light
Ancient forms of echo, rhyming
Complex rhythms, bounded, tight
Resounding voices throng the breeze
As tower captains keep in time
Wise bells with personalities
In sacred music, old, sublime
 
Last month the bells went out of sync
And changed the soundtrack of the town
No one heard but me, I think, but
‘Twas the Stranglers, “Golden Brown”
 
(dum, dum, di dumdumdum...)
 
by Gail

Life's Soundtrack

Music
Can be the soundtrack of the soul
Music can make you dance
....Makes you feel free

Music 
It speaks to you
In many ways
Can make you laugh
Or cry

Music
I luv it 
Makes me feel 
-Free
Makes me wanna 
dance and sing
