Quieted By The Falling Notes Poem by Susan Lacovara
Quieted By The Falling Notes
I open up my heart
Raise the blinds
light a fire
My stocking- footed soul
Inspired to dance
To the stroking
of Botti's trumpeted caress
Turn the volume higher
I swirl in the curl
Of my free flowing hair
My free flowing thoughts
Sway sultry and safe
The beads of sweat
Remind me I am alive
Alone with a poet's heart
And the moonlight' s company
No one qets to ask me any questions
I'm a mime in stolen time
Quieted by the falling notes
As I tiptoe soft, against the night
On pointe, and perfectly controlled
Where shadows touch my soul
Like the calm only morning knows
When she rises from the dew
I am new in the balance of a song
Whereas the world outside the window
Strings a tightrope to traverse
I knew every verse to my favorite tune
Me and the moon
Quieted by the falling notes
It is a lovely poem :) I hear people talk so sweetly about music. I don't really enjoy music with my poor hearing. I sometimes wish my hearing was better because of the wonderful things I hear about music, but as it is music is mostly just a lot of annoying noise for me.
The graceful way in which the title becomes the last line of the poem is so fulfilling and satisfying that I felt I was wrapped up inside the poem. And what a wonderful scene it displays! Morning images, dance images, soul images, images of sound and silence - all this imagery is expressed in the softest imaginable voice. Your poem expresses a deep faith in things which are universal, free, available to everyone. It is only a matter of crossing a threshold and voila the experience of happiness prevails. And the name of this happiness you give in the last line of your Poet's Notes - PEACE. This poem is joining my collection of favorites and it will be my morning mantra!
