Wonderous frequencies
Gather
Vibrating on the membrane
Inside.
Breathe out.
My heart beats
A familiar patter
Comforting.
Breathe in.
Even the rumble
Of my empty belly
Becomes entwined.
Breathe out.
The constancy
Of the melody
Allows my thoughts
To soar.
"The constancy

Allow my thoughts
To soar."

My thoughts soared, too. So beautiful!

"Vibrating on the membrane" ..that is so lovely and telling, it made my own fingers tingle.
ReplyDeleteI just loved this.
Wow...so relaxing...I might need to print this out and hang it on the wall where I see it...often!!
ReplyDeleteI breathed through the stanzas...a new physical experience with a poem for me! Those "breathe in breathe out" lines work so well.

A beautiful opening, which pretty much sums up the simple wonder of being alive.
Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLovely. I like how you structured this with the breathing in and out. I agree with the comments that this is relaxing. It caused me to show down and take a few deep breaths.
ReplyDeleteThis poem felt like someone was teaching me to meditate—a frequency that's harder to be receptive to than a radio or tv. Love this answer to the prompt!
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on the prompt. I could feel myself relaxing as I read it.
ReplyDeleteQuiet & contemplative. I like the way you integrated the prompt -- much to the opposite of its origin.
