The music plays
I march to its beat
Around and around the chairs
Chairs that have been rearranged
I am not the last one marching
Yet there is no place to sit
When the music stops

Bewildered
I keep marching
To silence

Listening for the sound of music

If you march to your own beat, there will always be music; very nicely done!

I know this is a little abstract, overall it was about the feeling one has when playing musical chairs that I have had of late due to some up expected turns in our family's life. Some things happen so suddenly they pull the carpet out from under you before you know what has happened. Thanks for your comments, they are appreciated.

Wow there is so much you could
get out of this
that no matter when you read it
the meaning would never be the same!
Very nice..
