Hello World

Inspired by "Hello World" by Lady Antebellum. I've been listening to this song all day. It touches me in a very profound way that just can't be put to words.

The sky glimmers above her, so blue she can’t stand it.  Puffy white clouds drift by, bouncing, billowing, blowing in the air and she is captivated.  The music starts within her and she closes her eyes, feeling her body being caressed by the breeze blowing by.  It is warm.  The grass tickles her ankles, her skirt drifting out behind her and she leans into it.

 

She throws her arms out into the openness that surrounds her and she begins to sway slowly, so, so slowly, enjoying the beauty of this day.  The music’s volume increases and she moves her feet in a circular motion, allowing it to carry her body in ways of its own choosing.  She pirouettes and leaps through the air so gracefully, carried in a dance that is all her own.  She can feel the music vibrating through every fiber of her being.  She is the music and the music is her.

 

This moment freezes in time and she dances on without a care.  Weightless, she feels her soul take flight.  Her heart is so full she feels that it will burst.  Spurred on by the emotion she continues her dance, tears of sheer joy pool in her deep blue eyes before trickling down her pink cheeks.  Her hair cascades around her in a river of golden curls.  She feels her skirt flowing out around her and a childish giggle escapes her parted lips.

 

She dances until she is breathless.  Her chest expands with each breath and she can feel new life pumping through her veins.  Lying down, she feels the grass cradle her and continues to feel the music move through her.  She closes her eyes, allowing the sun to bathe her in its golden warmth and smiles.  She can see the yellow pools of light through her closed lids and feel the breeze caressing her still.

 

She has fully captured this stunning moment within her soul and felt it change her.  Alone in her reverie she breathes slowly filling herself with peace, hope, joy, and love.  For this moment, it is enough.

 

Hello, world.

That is such a moving song and this is such a lovely compliment to it... your words are so blissful and airy... it really touches on that idea of we need to enjoy the small things in life to make us happy and just let go and not worry what others think... get lost in the moment. Reading this was a wonderfully uplifting boost.

I love music and the feeling it has when it moves over you. You bring that all alive here! "She is the music and the music is her." There is a vivid glimpse of bliss in your words...

I love how that you use the title at the end. This is my kind of day...I loved the free floating feeling though this poem. It carried me there...good work...
