My Soul Dances

While listening to the Moonlight Sonata composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven, I began to write down words that came into my mind, inspired by the enrapturing music. In a way, I believe music takes my soul on an ineffable journey which cannot be done justice by my attempt at a poem.

Blind

Melodies wavering,

Lilting, swaying bodies

Graceful, twist, shapes emerge

Weaving, spinning stories beneath

Moonlight, spilling, cascades

Into mist, enveloping

Breathe in, submerge

Floating, caress

The surface

A lover’s kiss

Cold, and sweet, snow

Drifts gentle, settle, blanket

In white, spinning

Swirling up, illuminate

The sky, warmth

Spills over, glowing sun

Gentle tugging breakthrough

A rose in bloom,

Bright petals float

Carried by the wind, falling

Cascading

Yellow,

Orange

Red

Circle

Stir sounds

Awaken, flood

Of lights, movement,

Swaying, harmony

Of sounds, surrender,

Moving, breathing,

Rise and fall

Linger
