summation

a song a beat a vocal

tickling the inner ear

a

tune that enables

whistling minutes after

one listening &

on & on for days after,

the melodies &

harmonies that give us

bliss & asking nothing

of us except for each

to delight in the

passing on like stories

of old, like lyrics of

now like images &

tales from the big screen

to the net, from the

comfort in memory of

which we all derive

where the happiest of

times are welded in

with music, simple,

gorgeous, uncompromising,

unobligated &

humble, truly

humble

music,

this sums it all up

like a person one finds

themselves falling in love

with & gets paradoxically

disappointed, simultaneously

because they’ve only

just found them &

wished they had the years

that have already passed to

spend with them,

sheer utter beauty in the

stumbling onto a new

song, a new sound, a new

rhythm, which can jog

similar, if not even more

pure & unadulterated

bliss, opening ones eyes to

a whole new world

brought on by this

exchange of notes &

noise, that which can

bring everyone together,

that which does unite

regardless of time &

place, a welcomed vein

in us all, to which being

completely vulnerable

& emotionally affected

is perfectly alright.

A wonderful poem, and you certainly shared your song here. I love your expression of how we are all joined in the sharing. I think poetry does that.

Beautifully written.
