Undersong to Oversong
Getting back into the flow of writing, mostly with wordplay and poems. I'm a creative soul, from childhood to middle age, and my joy is to produce new things the world has never seen before. I'm an educator from the USA working as a college professor of lit and music. I'm learning to love myself little by little.
I need some music
Some music for food
To fill me up
I’m in such a mood
But I’m too far down
To pick out a song
And if someone helps
Just to move me along
I’d thank you to spin me
A tune that will lift
Me out of the doldrums
A personal gift
I’m stuck here forever
But I haven’t time
I’m due for a meeting
In a higher clime
I know I should be there
Instead of down here
What traps me? Quite frankly
It’s nothing but fear
A beat could inspire
A confident motion
A groove that would soothe me
Fa Jojoba Lotion
From hips to my shoulders
And then to my head
My smile would arch up
To heaven, instead
Of this lowly sewer
I’m languishing in.
Love, play me some music,
And pick up my grin.

Great sentiment, and absolutely true. Nice use of motion to convey the two frames of mind. I like the lines: "...spin me a tune that will lift me..."
