While I was pacing the floor
a car raced down the street
a leaf fell to the ground
a book was being published
a secret was being told
a mother had tears of joy
a plane landed safely
While I was pacing the floor
I realized I needed to dance
I cranked James Asher's, Send in the Drums
I closed my eyes and let my body move
I shook the energy up and out
the music began to stir my soul
I smiled with delight
and I danced until the words began to flow

"I smiled with delight

Cheers to OCtPoWriMO!
I tend to write some pretty dark stuff, but life does have happy moments, and you've captured one here. Well done!
ReplyDeleteMusic always soothes and cures. I particularly love "a secret is being told". Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! Had to read it twice to enjoy it again. Loved the repetition of the first line halfway through signaling a turn in the poem.
ReplyDeleteHeartwarming write :)
ReplyDeleteLovely images... it is amazing what music can do to inspire our words, isn't it? I enjoyed taking this journey with you.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Morgan. Light, yes, but reminds us that while we're pacing and going nowhere, life is going on. So we better get in the flow. Thank you. xoA
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I loved how you wrote about all of the things happening outside of yourself.
ReplyDeleteTwist and shout! Thank you for your encouragement in writing.
ReplyDeleteI needed to read your first lines, especially after the words that came out today.
ReplyDeleteAnd I enjoyed your poem, both parts for different reasons, but equally.
I liked the idea that so many things happen while we're focused on our own life, that we may never know about. Beautiful things, sad things, LIFE things.
And I love dancing, I find it liberating too. So of course I enjoyed the second part too!
And that last line? It packed some punch!
