The One Stop Poetry Picture Prompt Challenge inspired me. Here is my contribution:
THE STILLNESS OF MUSICAL VICTORIES
That music which is from the soul,
It is that which wins, it triumphs.
Musicians are ready to bring it to life,
And there are always shiny musicians.
They stand in attentive stillness and blow
Against the temporary forms of life.
And when the trumpets sound and swarm,
Nothing is left of the worthlessness.
The worldly, false structures melt away.
There is forever in music and moving time,
The source being love and our creator,
And my soul is comforted and wrapped.
I float in love.

The musicians standing read to blow away of the facade of this earhly.commerical life. Good poem.

A great homage to music. In addition to Glynn’s point, I’d like to add that you convey that awesome feeling of enjoying the stillness and really getting into song. “And my soul is comforted and wrapped. / I float in love.” Songs often bring out feelings and remind us of parts of ourselves we forget from time to time. Your poem makes me want to revisit the music I connect with. Nice work, Carl.

“nothing is left of the worthlessness.” That made me smile. As I read the first part, i was gthinking, this makes the trumpets sound almost biblical; then, unless I’ve misunderstood, you bring it all around to divine love. Beautifully done.

Thank you for your kind comment. There is a history of the strength of the trumpet, including the biblical history, in warding off bad and in inspiring the good. Yes, divine love. Thank you for your comment.

Your poem shows that life is not only what we bring to it, but what others give us of themselves. All art is a giving back, and none more so than music, as you express so beautifully here.
