Notes

A Poem by Clara O

Galaxies dance in her eyes

Strings light up the sky, plucking her thoughts straight out of the air into space

The music revives her body healing the wounds that the bad notes have carved out in her heart

Airy sounds go in one ear and flip her world on its head before exiting out into the monotonous world

Dread disappears while her faith is restored in her love of music

The love that drives her life into success

Her father told her, “It’s all in the notes love”, but she never understood

“Let the music move you into a state of peace”, but she never felt it

“Let yourself adapt”, but she couldn’t change

Until the galaxies introduced themselves

Until she could stare into the eye of the music staff and feel the flow of energy swirling through her veins

Until she learned her most important lesson, “it's all in the notes love”
