Note to self: a metaphysical view of a poetic love

I’ve crossed the darkness between the stars,

beyond the beauty of beats and bars,

a song unfolds like a well-read book,

what’s moving me now is the rhyming hook!

beats and a rhythm, bars sung in time,

when silence sings, the energy body’s found,

each step a note, each breath a phrase,

it moves through time in measured ways

love is light with intimate grades,

its rhyming depths, it’s shifting shades,

love hums within the quiet space,

a force no distance or water can break

love travels – as if in a quiet space,
sometimes open, sometimes faced,
between the rhythm of sounds designed,
it sings from a heart that was born to shine

a future plain begins to rise,
a melody travels throughout the skies,
I chart my course knowing where l be,
each note I leave in the air between

love travels through the quiet space,
sometimes open, veiled and opaque,

between the rhythm of each beat,
it sings of a life born, a single seed

I’m a ghost in a folded time,

my voice it sings most every line,

across the stars, I still remain,

in every rest, in all terrains

I am not lost, as l realign,

a presence drawn, from love’s design,

as the song unfolds, the heart it grows,

between each pulse, the blood it flows.

Blain also composes music - creating sounds, melodies, writing and singing lyrics. A song has a similiar process of gathering form and placing it in time, a diary, a life of its own.
