Vialed by ~sylvanheart:iconsylvanheart:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


Into the heads of ancestors moved the footsteps;
friends stomping in coincidental time, the beat was sparked
and spread, like the budding leaves
into glorious drum summers.

The voices gathered and pooled into a sink
of ancient memory; unstoppered it can never be drained.
we are born knowing how to play; listen!
the cadence of children's speech taking turns.

Music dives into clouded minds;
blankets with lullaby comfort the sore,
energizes with rhythm the apathetic,
reminds the heart to hold steady the tempo.

This was a super-fast poem-challenge to write about music in 12 lines. I think the last stanza doesn't fit.

hey look I won! I got a :cookie:!
Though the other two entries were just as, if not more, worthy. Here: [link] is a sheet-music take and [link] is a more emotional view.

I really like the third stanza, but it does have a different feel to it than the others. Maybe you should use it in another piece.
