You have evoked the magic of music in this poem, Christine – it’s been years since I last got up to dance but your words had me moving my promiscuous feet!
I agree that the whole poem sets up a lovely frame for that exquisite Volta- all hopes are pinned. I just love how wonderfully human that is, it takes the sorrow and the judgement out of it. I think that in human beings even unwise or impetuous choices have a basis in hope, and that is a beautiful thing- providing a basis – as your site title proclaims – FOR HEALING. This reminds me in some ways of the last surprise line of Thrash Unreal by Against Me!
Thank you Lona! I found your message in SPAM 😔. Yes! There is always hope and I hope we are never too cynical to believe that. I liked the song you shared as it was reminiscent of what I was writing about. Thank you for sharing that with me. 🙂💕
Sometimes we have to throw caution to the wind, move with the music….
This is lovely, Christine.
Thank you so much Mish. I really appreciate it 🙂

Aww, thanks Kim! 🙂 Keep on dancing!
I love the way you set up the music as the seducer… reminds me a lot of those old myths about the dangerous violinist luring the maiden away.
Thanks Bjorn 🙂 It does remind me of that too.
Thanks for sharing this fine piece! Excellent write. See you in a couple weeks Christine. In honor of Solli Raphael: A Smidgen of Thought
Thank you so much Rob. You aways give such positive feedback. I am truly humbled 🙂💕
I think most of our decisions are based in the promiscuity of hope. I like those words you chose. Have to ponder them.
Thank you very much Sarah! 🙂
Thanks Grace 🙂 You too! 💕
We will see where it goes then. I like the cliff hanger of the ending. Thanks for joining in and wishing you a good summer.
