Music, Words, Self, Share

Join me, start a song, type unbidden, let’s see where we are, the SurfaceEarth exchange
……
Across the sky
I stand
breath
silence
looking up
two birds come across
they wink at me
it no longer matters
I don’t need the sign
they were simply waking me up all of these months and years
rolling
across the top of the ocean
collective consciousness
I roll
Does it matter
that I now walk through walls
taught
does it matter
did not achieve it on my own
Did I pick the right song
or the wrong one
did it pick me?
It’s slow beyond the triggers of my mind
I think the pauses between the words
between the melody
may be having me travel where I wouldn’t otherwise
“Oh God if you’re round there won’t you hear me…”
Maybe not such a bad choice
maybe not
I pat the head
of the girl I was
I smile at her
the thirty animals that circled her bed at night
the bag beneath her bed
in case
in case
there was a fire
I circle and embrace her
is this the worst that comes out of this two minute song?
How do we find where we have begun?
Song #2: Couldn’t resist, may be short……………
How do you describe
a smile
that starts from within?
How do you describe hope
that stands
despite
the day?
How do you
How do you
How do you live the moment
when the past and the future
want to choke you?
How do you
How do you
How do you rise up
and glide
across the pond
iced
of the moment?
How do you stand
a child
across a frozen ink of glass
against the stark
forgotten trees
of a town
removed
a place within the town
even more forgotten
how do you carve yourself against the sky
to make yourself matter?
You glide
you breath
you put your arms out in front of you
whether you can
see
or not see
you put your fingers
your nerves
the warmth
of you against the sky and dare it
to
not
see you

Peace my brothers and sisters.
Try it.
Typing or drawing to music is freeing and brings us back to our origins.
May God bless you.
