A special moment of release
a favourite one
of my month
when
everything
dis ahhh peers,
but the music
tones fill me up
beat in my heart
(when I cannot)
tender emotions
raise hairs, just as they
let unseen
energies slip away
like water scrubbing
the earth of my soul
energy unblocked
I am left limp
dazed in the beauty
of this sound,
this moment
It happens every time
and yet I marvel
that there are hard niches
that can still release their hold
with our passion's beat
passion's
beat, beat, beat
pounding
all those pains,
strains with refrains
I am left
clean
pure
white with whimsy's
touch
this smile born
of God's release;
my penance
beaten on a drum
and given wings on
the tones of
that ting-
sha
bliss
I have been gone and super-busy the last week, but
found inspiration for a little free-verse
for my friends at One Shot Wednesday
via my monthly drum circle
smokin'....got a great beat...i want to hear it!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the word play and the capturing of sound that drives many lines.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. If I could figure out a program to record readings, maybe you will get one, one day brian. I suppose that you would be the person to ask this Adam, as I know you often have spoken words on your blog.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for my poem, while I capture some of the experience, I still feel that the ethereal quality that fills me up and the physical release that I feel are still not given their due. I love my circles though.
BRA-VA Katherine!
ReplyDeleteThis poem is freakin' awesome! Definitely ting-sha bliss!
And I LOVE the word play!
"everything
dis ahhh peers,
but the music'
HA! That's faaaaaaabulous!
Such a talented lady you are!

So stirring, Katherine. I can feel your pleasure seeping through your words.
ReplyDeleteDear KKrige
ReplyDeleteIts so playfully musical. I liked the way you have used words to convey your thoughts with sound... Thanks for sharing such a lovely verse...
ॐ शांति ॐ

Hear hear Shashi!
Sweet! I could feel it. Thanks for sharing your gifts.
ReplyDeleteLove this! You caught me with the "dis ahhh peers" and I kept riding the rhythm and the sound all the way :)

ReplyDelete@Mijayami: A popular line 'twould seem. I am glad you got to rumba with me. One day perhaps we can jam out together. :)
Love the beat and feel of this. Do you know Langston Hughes' "Weary Blues"?
