Poem #20: Singing Soul

Have you ever felt the power

of a singing soul?

It is like the flight of swallows

across a winter sky

A field of daisies

in a wasteland.

Can you feel the rush

of the ocean

and the whistling call

of the mechanic pumps

that seem to fill your chest

with so much certainty.

Don't you feel fulfilled?

Your dream has been realised.

Finally you are understood.

You can breathe,

darling, you are free to feel.

In another instant

it will leave you

and once again you will

be ordinary.
