Music!
-
Dreams muse, innocent
Like clouds scooting across the vast azure sky
Soaring up in lilting, perfect glory.
Lines stream in sync
Mimicking the varied textured river of sounds below
Their loveliness sweetly painful
Stringing me along
-
And I see the notes on the page
Hop and jump like Mexican beans
To the multi-coloured hues
And I feel like jumping too!
With sparkling, mischievous eyes
Dipping and curtsying to the lively tune
Of the Irish melody
Step step step step
Twirl float fly!
-
And then I am whisked away to mountains
And -scent-taste-smell- rainforests where animals play
Peeping in and out of the green
Purple fronds wave merrily
And orange ferns wriggle
Rough smooth heady spicy sweet!
What a riot of scents and colours
In the cheery humid vibrancy of the living tropic forest
-
I swim through the canopy
Bursting deeply into the cold fresh air above
And float, weightless, on a peaceful
Cumulonimbus
The wind stirs serenely at my cheeks
I sunbathe in the comforting warmth
Sipping at a nectarine
And I wonder if it's heaven
It sure is high enough…
-
Then crisp piano notes lift me high
And I'm a bird
Cart-wheeling
Spinning
Cutting the air
Leaving a swirling panpipe wake of fluffy white cotton
-
My feet shiftshiftshift to reggae steps
On the grey sidewalk
I grin
My body has never felt this light
With a twist of my felt cap
I become one with the music
-
The soft lines surround me
Gyrating with their own smooth rhythm
And I'm whole
-
It's a beautiful feeling.
