Tetrachord by ~argylekid:iconargylekid:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Old Poetry Structure > Emotional




Motion given melody
Gazing like music to symphonic stars
Wet grass just a prelude
To lying on our backs

Heat strumming a tune
With cicadas in step
Not to break the orchestral silence
We hold our breath

This canon of nature
Resonance humming an octave above
Trying to save these days
Doing all we can

To not crack a smile at the rhythm.

Dealings with the faburden of life.

Daily Deviation

Given 2003-01-31

I guess we all have to deal with the "faburden of life." Argylekid gives us his solution in "Tetrachord." It's a melody of symphonic stars, and holding your breath in orchestral silence. One cannot help but smile. (Selected by +jsenn) (Featured by °jsenn)

do you remember when
you didn't used to notice
the smell of wet grass?

this makes me smile.. it reminds me of all those days when i was the only face in the tableau that wasnt beautifully melancholy. no, i was smiling at the rain on the tin roof.

ooooh

I love the ending... it puts it all together and puts me in a musical mood...

I feel like going out and lying in the snow for a while to look at the stars...

Thanks.
