The music is louder and clearer
to some of us than for others.
Some people have a drumbeat
that their life bounces to,
while others people's days
are entangled
as the strings of a broken harp,
or flowing
on the throaty tune of a wooden flute.
We each have a rhythm,
a song, a spirit song.
Open your ears,
open your heart,
open your mind
to the notes,
beat or melody
of your call to dance."
Janet Botes, February 2013
This poem was written during a writing course that I've been taking, called "Write On". I strongly recommend this course, these sessions have been very inspiring and uplifting! The confidence that I'm developing in my writing is flowing over to my visual art too, so I'm endlessly grateful to Amy's (as the facilitator) encouragement and guidance. Here's the info for Write On:
