Splendid Concert Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Riding the train into an ebony darkness, clacking down
tracks, following whatever direction it's taking, not
caring at all what lies ahead.

Wanting to wander into the world unheeded, free and
loving the nature that touches my heart and soul, just
watching everything as the wind blows it's tune.

Taunting me with it's lonesome and tempting sounds through-
out the night, rising with tempos as daylight breaks into
a morning sunrise.

Filled with glory and a melliferous aroma touching this
mind of intellect, bringing hope and faith to the fore-
ground.

Nothing getting in the way of rhythms as they lead me in-
to the future, aligning all my tomorrows with the joy of
an interior spirituality throughout the hours.

Metered in tempos of inner chords and rapid rhythms,
brilliant light opening up my mind, taking me into another
dimension far from the one I'm in.

Loving the vibration and humor entering this evening with
a band of talented musicians, playing a tribute to Elton
John.

Watching the actions of artists as they commit to the
interior gifts of innate talent that they were born with,
staging the melodies and colors exploding into my brain.

A splendid concert of fireworks, intensely being alive in
the midst of all this music, writing my heart out into
poetry through every moment of it.
