Silent Night

The prompt at Chevrefeuille’s is Christmas Carol. I have dear memories of singing with my girls at nursing homes and for church specials.

Where were you in the 70s? #haiku #Godspell #music #poetry
once unencumbered
miles I’ve trudged off course
pebble ground to sand
*****
why are you here?
I thought you stayed in my youth
Okay, but just 1 verse
The song “By My Side” was from the original musical production of Godspell. Godspell was one of the first musicals I performed in (the undefinable 70s). The prompt “Pebble” from Chevrefeuille’s Carpe Diem reminded me of the symbolism of the pebble that challenges the bearer to be wiser, stronger, resilient. It is also symbolic of faith which requires a walk without knowing or understanding where we are going.
At a Loss for Words #poetry #music #dpchallenge
A tune always spins
like an lp
on the record player of my life
notes trickle through fingers
like rains drops
as I sing another song
and the words
dance on the keyboard
and sparkle in my eyes
as I dance with feet firmly planted
hands caressing the microphone
on the broad instrument packed stage
that I call home
The prompt at DP Daily Challenge today is Musical Marker.
“We all have songs that remind us of specific periods and events in our lives. Twenty years from now, which song will remind you of the summer of 2014?”
Our family lives in a world of theater and music, my life is catalogued by the memories of the venue rather than the song. We just finished “The Producers” so I guess the song would be – Spring Time for Hitler.
Sing It From the Rooftops #FlashFiction
She knew the music by heart
motioning to the man on the sound board
“can we do one run through first?
I want this recording perfect.”
He tweeked the settings pulling out her rich contralto tones.
“I’m ready,” she signaled head phones in place
She sang her heart out for her friend
“Happy Birthday Chris”
This 55 Flash Fiction is dedicated to a talented writer and photographer who I have the honor of working with At One Stop Poetry – Happy Birthday Chris Galford.
Thanks to G-Man for the weekly opportunity to write Flash Fiction in a mere 55 words.
Smiling Down at You
It’s a night like no other
lay back and reflect
so much past
nothing to reject
***
What has gone before
I failed to record
I’m looking up
thinking of my Lord
***
The sand it squeaks
the waves recede
the stars they twinkle
beautiful indeed
***
My heart so full
about to burst
heaven’s smiling
and singing a verse
