Heat Of The Moment

 

I listen to the piano

softly hum its tune

in black and white.

Closing my eyes

to let the darkness

broaden my view.

The wordless melody

becomes the light

in my mind

guiding my spirit

to uncharted corners

where virgin thoughts hide.

My inspiration flies

just below the angels

but high enough

to carry an eagle to safety.

Every note is the wind

beneath my wings

making me feel like Superman.

When the music comes

to an unexpected end

I open my eyes

just in time to imagine

me falling like a shooting star

then feeling the burning

of satisfaction in my eyes

till I am blind.

Great flow and so enticing! Music can take you to a far away place that can revive the soul!

Music , what we we do without it... this is very enchanting. It just reads so smooth.. music is good for the heart and soul, your poem captures the feelings perfectly.

Tis said that music fills the soul, touches corners of the heart, raises the spirit .. and here you are proving it. Your music has made you into more than a simple man .. now you're what and who you long to be.

Your free verse grows and grows, Dale, the images you've created are beautiful!

"I open my eyes
just in time to imagine
me falling like a shooting star
then feeling the burning
of satisfaction in my eyes
till I am blind."

Satisfying last lines. It's always easy for me to get lost in music...I like the comparison you draw between that and reaching inspiration's door, where the "virgin thoughts hide."
Phenomenal! :)
