Music is not seen
It is both beauty heard and
rhythm stirring souls ~
Let it heal your heavy heart
and let its beat move your feet
a still pond listens
as moon dips without asking—
rippling rings echo
to what has come, what has gone
while silence wears two faces
old bells ring in bone
burrowing into bare rooms
where the marrow hums—
sympathetic echoes ring
through chants begging to be heard
the old brass chamber
cannot ring with borrowed tongues
when not asked to stay—
an empty cup can't ring clear
when another hum lays claim
GOING UP WITH COLTRANE
“Giant Stepping” with Trane.
Simone of Cyrene inspired:
Uplifting steppings.
No more stalling in despair:
“Love Supreme” is guiding me.
solitary stroll
in the gathering twilight...
I have company
with all the birds and the trees
and hear music in the wind
explore a country
by bus train boat and walking
endless nuances
of people places nature
savour such special moments
rural or urban
a cultural condiment
art dance music words
untold natural wonders
gems around every corner
vast experience
beyond tourist gazetteer
lifes outlook changes
and perceptions remoulded
physical and mind travels
Chaos color blast
blue sun is traveling fast
past a blood red moon.
Creatures scurry for cover
on the dark side of summer.
Red tailed comets streak
Paisley colors growing weak,
Midst music, dance, laughs!
Night has destroyed amber day;
and the world's in disarray.
Covid quarantine
I need to learn something new
Creativity
I self taught ukulele
I began to hear my song
Music notes on air
Like bubbles floating by me
Pop! I hear lyrics!
Writing feelings; melodies
My thoughts turned to Poetry
music of the spheres
imbibed by resonation ~
heart lotus opens
ripples in the void convey
the sound of one hand clapping
His crooked white clock
On night stand like a black block.
Time stands still on clock.
Music making us unlock
Our hearts out of every block.
Music - melody
Universal attraction.
Songs in symphony.
Instrumental and vocal.
Creation of sonata
Melody from flute
Unwraps my immersed feelings
Senses touched divine
Innermost emotions surge
Cadence fills the air sublime
Dare to shine brightly
Among wall flowers who sigh.
Nothing brings hearts as
Close as music and laughter
Everyone should dance with joy!
Listen to it, man,
Take it all in, all the bass.
Take a good listen.
Take it all in, all the drums.
Take it all in as you hum.
inside of ears pierced
song penetrates dark deeply
lighting up canal
enhancement of oars gliding
through calm waters of Venice
sandals on my feet
the beach boys' songs are playing
a song melody
pasadena song comes on
little old lady like me
