Music plays quietly
delicate notes of joy and love
uplifting
Heartwarming tears of gratitude
offered while on knees of the moment
Beauty and compassion
shared in a circle of safety
stories of hardship and pain
stories of hopes and desires
enveloped in a halo of acceptance
Dream catchers woven
in a time of listening
open hearts
exposed and vulnerable
gathered in hands of friendship
Ragged threads
braided as one
no longer frayed
strengthened by unity
now a beautiful tapestry
Lives unfold
as each thread is touched,
colored, named
Mystical artwork
mysteriously created
Music soars
a divine chorus
a privileged instant

Magical Brew
Autumn sunshine
burst of energy
dark clouds banished for now
flags blowing
crisp attention
patriotism on display
no indication of alchemy at hand
delicate flavors
sweet aroma
hint of mystery in a cup
it’s magic
in a cup
magic steeping
brewing
in a cup
time stands still
with the meeting of two friends
encapsulated in a hug
encapsulated in a cup
a spell is cast with the first sip
the first kiss
the first sip of tea
that kisses the lips
roar of an engine breaks the enchantment
boxes are delivered
bicycles scoot by
music plays
patio drinks and laughter
weekend at hand
but
the mind is lost
steeped in memory
passion brewing
heat of magic
conjured in a cup
lingers on the lips
The Shroud

sleek veil slowly lifts
bright light streams in
eyes blink
temporary blindness
optimistic future comes into view
complications tumble aside
path visible
meaningful words are felt
healing music is heard
movement occurs
with gust of bad news
silky shroud falls
flutters across face
intense struggle
finest fabric weighs heavy
attempt to avoid destruction
necessary filter carries great value
disguised opportunities
await discovery
Pied Piper

(This post was inspired after hearing Lemon Bucket Orkestra from Toronto, Canada. A lively, high energy performance!)
Pied Piper leads
rollicking fast paced musical experience
Overworked feet stomp
weary hands clap
day to day life is forgotten
Tambourine jangles
keeping pace with piper
violin sends notes screaming
squealing into the frenzy
People jump up and dance
unable to resist whirling dervish notes
European melodies
Accordion tunes
soulful immigrant history
lead frolicking party
Multicultural fusion of folk song
touch visceral chord
reach in and draw out inherent rhythms
playfulness
joy
Hips sway, bodies twist
primal encounter
children and adults
young and old
are infused with instinct
for emotional expression
no one can remain still
In presence of piper
people become sea of motion
bouncing
jumping
arms legs akimbo
Piper tells stories without words
there is an urgency
come now
dance now
now, now, it must be NOW
Music builds to a crescendo
Nothing matters
but NOW
This Moment!
Cacophony
Skeletons jangle
dangle from a string
produce eerie music
wind chime of dead
relative stories
long gone
attempt to be heard
whispers of memories
shift bones
change beat
swing rhythm
recollection rises to surface
before recognition
slips away
elusive melody
mournful
an elegy
replaced by
quickened tumble of sound
lilting spill of noise
another story scrambling to be told
“don’t forget about me
I’m still here”
movement increases
bones compete to bring forth
their etude
music becomes cacophony!
indistinguishable chords
lyrical distortion
lost in the chaos!
skeletons untangle
slowly hang limp
a bump now and then
produces a click or a clack
hands are over ears
strange chorus deferred to another time
conductor must be found
for this otherworldly orchestra
to decipher
ancestor
notes
