LET’S GO MUSICAL AT PAPER POETRY

Noting

An ode to synchronicity

There’s a kind of ear music . . . a rhythmic synchronicity Allen Gurganus

Sometimes it’s a bell ringing from subtlety’s steeple.

Other times, a stanza’s echo, sensed rather than heard.

Or a mundane chant made extraordinary. Neumes deciphered, morphing,

now post-it notes

sticky with incredulous conviction, neon-hued, reverence-saturated, happily forever-stuck genuflecting carols at awe’s altar.

Ah, the contentment of letting go of listening out there. Instead allowing arpeggios of coincidence to transpose into spherically higher keys

Into odes to joy composed to refute and scale the congenital impediment of being tone deaf.

Synchronicity — a ‘symphonicity’ of music for the soul. Thank you, Sting/The Police. I am a believer!

Thank you, Indubala Kachhawa, Carolyn Hastings, and Suntonu Bhadra at Paper Poetry for a prompt I could not resist, Music of the Subconscious.

And thank you, dearest readers — my cherished, healing melody garden.
