All Things Become

 

 

when voices rise in harmonious unison

 the song comes from deep in the heart.

when life begins with a footstep

discovery becomes an open road.

beginning to live, to love, to feel

breathing, a learned response.

everything feels like the very first time

like the sun at the break of day.

there is something here in this magic

in this feeling of joy and delight.

in growing up out of a long dark sleep

to feel the coming back of life.

there is rhythm rocking back and forth

as if on the crest of a wave.

waiting to carry me to shore

to a place where I can stand.

the sun glittering on the sea of blue

the sounds like a song in my ears.

a feeling that all things come together

that we have somehow been here before.

that this experience has come

to make everything else seem clear.

the joy is building in a language

that seems foreign but I understand.

I somehow can sing at the top of my lungs

words I have never said.

building to a crescendo

a height that seems absurd.

culminating in a final crash

as all things become one.

turning around and around again

until everything can be seen.

Prompted to write outside my comfort zone,

I wrote this while listening to Circle of Life,

the Broadway version,

very loud with headphones on.

I always write in silence

so this was a real challenge.
