Hein Van Den Heuvel - Forest PathSaturdays Are For Singing
Saturdays I gather up my music
like broken glass off the ground
where it's been scattered
by those other days
of numbing voices
that punch
in solid thumps that
bully and break fragile things
into exploded parts.
I follow yesterday's shards
to Saturday sanctuary
in a still green forest
where nature's heartbeats hum
scattering sunlight pulses
like soft music
punctuated by green leafy dancers
racing along rustic bark scales
in a symphony of glorious joy
where I may humbly join the chorus
to sing again.

ReplyDeleteHey Jo,
ReplyDeleteThat ironing board must of done well, helped to rise up the ornamental grass. Hallelujah!
This speaks to me of the rejuvenating properties of nature... your shattered music being your creative self, or even just "yourself", made whole again by a day in nature
ReplyDeleteLovely!!
Nan, yep! And a good thing any day, every day, not just Saturday really.
ReplyDeleteYes music is so magical in many ways and we all have our own rhythm, great one Jo!
