Luminosity




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.

    I love that it is light on one hand, music on the other....
    Such amazing layers...

  2. Dance, write , and see - the arts speak when the rest of the world hears silence.

  3. Gorgeous! Love this one, Mary Lee. Especially these lines:

    calls me to dance, tickles my feet, is
    a beam of light when all the world is dark.

  4. So beautiful: "My pen calls me to be the one..."

    And sometimes, lately, I can't pick up the melody, so thank you for singing so well.
