I open up my heart <br />Raise the blinds <br />light a fire <br />My stocking- footed soul <br />Inspired to dance <br />To the stroking <br />of Botti's trumpeted caress <br />Turn the volume higher <br />I swirl in the curl <br />Of my free flowing hair <br />My free flowing thoughts <br />Sway sultry and safe <br />The beads of sweat <br />Remind me I am alive <br />Alone with a poet's heart <br />And the moonlight' s company <br />No one qets to ask me any questions <br />I'm a mime in stolen time <br />Quieted by the falling notes <br />As I tiptoe soft, against the night <br />On pointe, and perfectly controlled <br />Where shadows touch my soul <br />Like the calm only morning knows <br />When she rises from the dew <br />I am new in the balance of a song <br />Whereas the world outside the window <br />Strings a tightrope to traverse <br />I knew every verse to my favorite tune <br />Me and the moon <br />Quieted by the falling notes<br /><br />Susan Lacovara<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/quieted-by-the-falling-notes/
