i continue

artwork by francis picabia

i continue
droplets of light fall on me
like rain sneaking through clouds
on a summer’s day
summer breeze flutters
like butterfly wings alighting 
on a fragrant flower
i sigh
like an inaudible symphony
heard by only the chosen few
i accelerate
like a jazzy rhythm
realizing forward is the only way to go

We must continue if we are to survive, and you describe the most charming way to move on to a jazzy rhythm as part of doing so...continue, sigh and then accelerate with realization it is the wisest way to survive the chaos of staying stuck in the moment! The expression on the face of the lovely lady seems to express just that - contemplating the better choice!

I appreciate not only the review, but the fact you noticed the artwork. I try to find something that portrays my thoughts in the poem. Thanks so much, Sheila. Lydi**

Short and beautiful line of poetry. I love the movement of thoughts. Well articulated.
