Far from where I am going

Keep it simple and smooth
real smooth
riding a rising bassline
from note to note
ascending the scale
across steel drum's
tribal rhythms.
keep it plain
and to the point
yet still smooth
following staccato chants
across spiritual and
politically charged lyrics
locks of peace and revolution
fly in purposeful beats
across skies of yellow,black, and green
sunlight radiance disappears
from the isles of revolution
while campfire rhythms
and low voice mournings
carry out upon
the back of the winds
across every ocean wave
to the mainland.

(another addition to my ongoing series of music gere poems. i hope you all enjoy it.)

to write a poem about music is quite a challenge, since music is very complex...but you did it well!

I agree, you did it very well!
The words sing. Awesome...

Always, Alyssa

He was a man of sorrows
...I am a girl of tears.
