Reluctant Formulas Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Energetically forming melodies out of instruments
being played in friendly tones of syncopation.
Following avenues of measured periods, filled with
notes and rests, playfully sounding the echoes of
yesterday.
Taking uneventful times we've kept close and
placing them into compositions readied for the next
time in concert.
Truthfully benefiting the people who are listening
and finding favor with each and every syllable of
the lyrics in each song.
Delivering melody's times on trays of sounding
tones, forming and shaping in the deepest recesses
of our lives.
Noting that there's nothing more important than the
essence and passion of writing poetical interludes
into wonderful renditions of tomorrow's love stories.
Written by the lover's themselves, forging every
turn of events into the deepest form of reluctant
formulas in interior realms of ourselves.
Carrying on into the narrowest of backstreets,
tomorrow.
