softly, I wouldn't disturb other flows
that weave throughout the air you breath.
I'd hide in your ears,
my waves travelling
through canals creating
vibrations of joy
needing no translation.
My message would arrive
clearly in your brain,
to fill it with happy notes.
I'd laugh when you hum my tune, tapping
your feet to a beat you don't realize
is hiding in you.
Sometimes I'd turn up the volume,
not too much,
just enough to make you stop,
because you think there's ringing in your ears.
If I were music I'd play all the time
so you'd join me,
play too.

I love the whole idea of this, Myrna, you being the music that would play in loved ones' ears......turning up the volume to encourage their dance. Cool poem.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the lighthearted 'tune' you 'sing' for this prompt, Myrna. I think it would be great fun to send a special tune to someone's ears to make them tap their feet to your chosen beat! Your poem made me smile.
ReplyDeleteMusic can be like words, pleasing to the one for whom it is especially crafted. And I too would like to hear someone I love hum my tune. This is a lovely poem, Myrna.
ReplyDeleteNice wish to want to be music.
