As Music Plays

Listen to the melodies of the heartbeat
Each day we arise to the same tune.

 

Sometimes obstacles hold us back -
Allowing room for growth if embraced.

 

Laughter happens then quickly disappears
Yet the memories are held forever.

 

Singing songs of hope for the future
Darkness will only prevail if we let it
Moments tick away and changes happen
Fears help us grow in faith and wisdom.

 

Conquering the past, and moving on
Becoming stronger everyday
Music continues playing

    Bravo!!! Bravo!!! Bravo!!!

    Kari, This is absolutely fantastic and such a change from other works of yours that I have read. I knew my daughter had to have words like this in there somewhere, I'm happy to see they came out of you in this brilliant piece. It was beautiful from the title right down to the very last word. I am sitting here with my mouth wide open right now. I love it, I love it, I love it. Thank you for sharing the magic of this with all of us and keep that golden ink flowing. You definitely get a standing ovation to go along with my applause for this. Kudos, daughter dear. Love always, Mom xoxoxoxoxo

    It came from you and your caring...

    I believe this came from your inner beauty with the eloquence of ease and honesty. It is inspirational and meant for the masses. There is unbridled truth here that is not preachy or judgmental. This is wonderful. It speaks to the ways of humankind and forbids us to be down-trodden. You'd be surprised at how many this will help to lift. Truly Beautiful!


    Always Lovingly ♥

    I like the metaphor taken as to life and music, and yes the song does go on through good and bad.

    As far as your Author's Comments, sometimes the best of writing comes those moments when we have no idea as to the source of inspiration, and the poem just feels to gather itself on paper. It's such a great feeling when a poem happens that way!

    It's really a lovely poem, Kari!

    Very insightful Kari. I like this a lot. I also believe that it shows growth within yourself. I hope that you continue to push forward past the obsticles that are in your path. Your spirit is too bright to be pulled down into darkness. Nicely done

    Excellent, excellent! A wonderful message in a sweet poem. The past is over and done with, and basically up to you whether to relive it each and every day, or take it, learn from it, and kick it is the butt on its way out the door.

    Hey You!

    See I don't know if you remeber me or not but I was the loser in the CB who made you ''Lol'' allot. Umm yeah, I thought this was great. These verses are so interesting. Well unfortunately I must go worship your godessness some where else. Maybe I can find your holyness in the chatterbox later? Cool. On that note, I got to resume living my life in a box. And no, I'm not the cookie monster. Don't worry.

    And, like Catz said, I also believe this comes from you own healing! I was not only excited about the hopeful message in it for the poem itself, but knowing that you were feeling that way at some point and wrote it. MommaNut

    Many don't understand that they should be thankful for those moments in life when they are challenged. Our problems make us strong if we face them. If we run away, we will never learn Life's valuable lessons.

    Great piece, Kari. Love, Grandmama

    I love the thought of each of us having our own music - to sing and dance to every day. Beautiful ideas in this poem, they speak volumes of truth. Your style is honest and thoughtful, and I like that. Brilliant.
