muse of light
black, white,
muse of light.
pressing down with all my might
the keys of my sorrow
the sharps of my fight
my dreams of tomorrow
and the flats of tonight.
your roar is loud enough to conquer my doubt, soft enough to put me to sleep,
tender enough to soften my tears, true enough to reach way down deep.
sometimes i play you when the world shuts its lights away
when all i feel is the dull, cold gray.
and sometimes i play you when my life feels wrong,
when i’ve lost hold of what i knew all along.
but mostly, i play you when my heart has reached its bitter bounds,
when i’m in need of your soothing sound.
when i play you, you shed your black and white coat
and you light the colours inside you afloat.
i resent you so much when i am forced to play
but sometimes
just sometimes
you make my day.
Ah, this is a sweet one, really liked the flow of the words and rhythm, ah, amazing.
I love this ‘Nessa and agree with Grandfather sky. I do have a song “feel” to it and I absolutely love the content and your style of expression. ♥
Awh thank you. I definitely enjoy yours too.
I especially like the rhyme, rhythm, and imagery of the first part, which sets the stage for the rest. Well done.
Thank you for the such a nice compliment!
This is a song you have written, I can hear the piano accompaniment to the words …
Can you really? Perhaps that was my underlying intention…
Yes, I do, and I think it is rising in you … time will tell …
I love this one!
Kinda hard to read with this theme, though. But great job!
Thank you! I’ve definitely been meaning to change my theme to something much lighter. I’ll take this comment as motivation for that. (:
I enjoyed reading today’s post very much. Have a great day.
