Voice:
the thing that comes through
when no one but you
is alone on that stage,
immersed in love and trembling in rage
Walking out into the spotlight.
Go ahead: write.
Your voice will ring out tonight with
Voice.
Some are the drums
Steady and stalwart
Keeping the beat
Pounding and raucous
Or softly insistent
Keeping the beat
Never faltering
Never wavering
Keeping the beat
Then the spotlight shifts,
And it is solo time.
Even the stalwart,
The steady,
The softly insistent
Will shine.
a dream
realized long after the kids were gone
singing of a new beginning
taking a risk
singing a song of new independence
it’s her turn for the spotlight.

My poem isn’t about the singer…
If life is a song
Some are the drums
Steady and stalwart
Keeping the beat
Pounding and raucous
Or softly insistent
Keeping the beat
Never faltering
Never wavering
Keeping the beat
Then the spotlight shifts,
And it is solo time.
Even the stalwart,
The steady,
The softly insistent
Will shine.
looking for a duet in this big noisy world
can you keep up with the beat?
serenade me with your thoughts on love
croon for me your hopes and dreams
a dream
realized long after the kids were gone
singing of a new beginning
taking a risk
singing a song of new independence
it’s her turn for the spotlight.
