Challenge
Write While Listening
So everyone, I want you to pick one of your favorite pieces of music, and while listening to it, write what you imagine. I’ll go first to give you an example. Also, please list the name and artist of the chosen song so that others may listen while reading your entry.
Meeting the Sky
I remember you
... or at least the feel of you
a heavy hug
playful toe massages
an itchy, overstuffed couch
and the sounds of you
jubuliant laughter
awed sighs
offers of lollipops
and the joy of being with you
safety
I love you
I love you
I love you
the words roll off my tongue
a mediation of acceptance
a mantra in memory
a desperate call to unwind time
I see you atop every ocean
at its meeting with the sky
someday our drums will sychronize
someday we’ll sail together
(inspired by Rhythm of My Heart - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVeZsG-9wVE ... and dedicated to my grandfather, who died when I was five and listened to this song constantly at the hospital)
