he pounds the keys |

He pounds the keys, hits deep inside the centering of me, brings me to my knees begging for more please as the notes cascade down the walls of my heart, ears hearing celestial notes earth beings rarely conceive and then he does leave me in silence last notes hanging in mid air like a dove or perhaps a glider sensing magnificence and then I escape the confines of earth to soar amongst the skies beyond the reach of all the mud and mundane machinations humans wrap themselve up with and then turn out the light, believing all is well as the globe spins itself faster and faster toward Hell. Is it any wonder I choose to wrap myself up tight in a cocoon of musings each night? |

Makes a lot of sense to me too, Kacy! I carry my wrap of withdrawal from a harsh and crazy world wherever I go but not so anyone notices of course. Perhaps its only in our own musings that we can find a hint of peace so wrap up tight, dear lady, it's cold where I am tonight. Great read! |

Aaaaaaaah, I finally found it. Anyone have an antidote, A paliative for writers block? What more might readers want to read of me? I want to believe there is still a treasury of stuff within, if only I could converse with my own thought s or with others who may want to know the treasury of my inner world. But for now, I guess, I may just have to wait, and instead, occypy myself with nonsense in the mean time. Actually I could post this. But I'm in the pips editor and would somehow have to cut and paste it into ms word. The Southern Cross. Hugs. |

"sensing magnificence and then I escape the confines of earth to soar amongst the skies beyond the reach of all the mud and mundane machinations humans wrap themselve up with and then turn out the light, believing all is well" this is so awesome! ‘I want to swim away |

I've re-read it 3 times and something new leaps out everytime. It's a keeper Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

oh, what a warm feeling I get reading these replies...you guys are so kind! Melissa, ya made me blush! Ok Sunshine, since you asked about the inspiration... it was a combination of listening to pianist Keith Jarrett, specifically The Koln Concert (1975) and then reading some wonderful poetry |
