When it is dark, be the one who turns on the light. ~Joseph (in 365 Days of Wonder)
Luminosity
I hear music even when
you can’t. It
calls me to dance, tickles my feet, is
a beam of light when all the world is dark.
My pen calls me, too. Calls me to be
the
one
with a new way to see, the one who
finds beauty, the one who turns
lines on
paper into the
vision that amplifies the world with ever more light.

Oh, this poem! This call to action!
ReplyDeleteI love that it is light on one hand, music on the other....
Such amazing layers...
Dance, write , and see - the arts speak when the rest of the world hears silence.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love this one, Mary Lee. Especially these lines:
ReplyDeletecalls me to dance, tickles my feet, is
a beam of light when all the world is dark.
So beautiful: "My pen calls me to be the one..."
ReplyDeleteAnd sometimes, lately, I can't pick up the melody, so thank you for singing so well.
