Music Of The Spheres Poem by Louise Tredoux

My newsletter says
‘find feelings of relief
that lead to a wonderful
mood and attitude,
even when your body is hurting,
and your body will improve
because your thoughts
create your reality’

I am going to visit Mrs Du Preez,
haven’t seen her for years, she
is very ill, by spreading good
cheer, or at least attempting
to, I will feel better about making
a sacrifice on Rudi’s behalf

It is exciting to seek her favourite
Dishes, make a special bouquet,
Juliette’s mother will give me a lift,
I can still mean something to
somebody else, even if part of
my heart is gone, life goes on

I can sing my song to my father
and aunts, I can write down my
memoirs and focus on all the
people I love, I lost romance,
but that is a transient thing,
here today, gone tomorrow

A source of great sorrow, but
love is bigger than touch, love
is unstoppable, love needs no
sensory experience, love is
based on the imagination, I
can imagine Rudi’s presence

And laughter and happiness
much better than real life can
show me, I can live without
physical touch because my
spirit goes into higher
dimensions where

I am comforted by the
music of the spheres…
