While listening to the Moonlight Sonata composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven, I began to write down words that came into my mind, inspired by the enrapturing music. In a way, I believe music takes my soul on an ineffable journey which cannot be done justice by my attempt at a poem.
Blind
Melodies wavering,
Lilting, swaying bodies
Graceful, twist, shapes emerge
Weaving, spinning stories beneath
Moonlight, spilling, cascades
Into mist, enveloping
Breathe in, submerge
Floating, caress
The surface
A lover’s kiss
Cold, and sweet, snow
Drifts gentle, settle, blanket
In white, spinning
Swirling up, illuminate
The sky, warmth
Spills over, glowing sun
Gentle tugging breakthrough
A rose in bloom,
Bright petals float
Carried by the wind, falling
Cascading
Yellow,
Orange
Red
Circle
Stir sounds
Awaken, flood
Of lights, movement,
Swaying, harmony
Of sounds, surrender,
Moving, breathing,
Rise and fall
Linger
You wrote this poem in live time to the song? Frickin' amazing. I wish I could do that.

I don't why, but I really like this part.
I am trying to think of something insightful to say, but I cannot think of anything. Mostly because I just keep rereading it.
hahaha i was going with the flow. it took me from music to dance to the seasons (winter spring summer fall) back to dance then to music. i guess it just emphasized the circular nature of things :) THANKS!
