This post is part of the 7th Poetry Carnival "Music Poetry," being hosted by Garnet in the woods at the top of the hill on Glitter Lane.The Song
From the silence came the indigo melody
deep vibrations of abounding love
running like the water of life
standing in stillness like the ocean of a soul
Lilting almost imperceptibly
the blue and turquoise harmony
echoes of a kiss blown on the wind
flickering like hope unfounded
daring dreams, dancing on a heart
A hint, a promise of gold in a chord
a kiss of yellow barely heard
From the dream came emerald answering indigo
love and romance melt in pas de deux
dancing tour jetés that set trust free
blending, being subtle melody
like notes that hang and hide within the air
Then a change of time
and a switch in key
Indigo was winding under emerald
a stronger driving beat, demanding
turquoise snapping up and down with the blue
emerald jamming in a new direction
making every player change and move
all following a new-colored cadence
calling, answering, giving, taking
solo, duo
jamming, meshing, moving, dancing,
always true to their tint
and to the beat of the drum
Notes hung in the air again
feelings roared instead of flirting
love and romance turned to games of chance
dark indigo answered emerald back
the pas de deux became the dying swan
then dream and beating drum were gone
The ocean of the soul stood frozen still
like winter in the river of no life
keen sounds of abounding love now lost
shot through the melody, absent of all harmony
indigo tears that washed the song to silence
There were no oranges and reds.
This song was rhythm and blues.

Thanks mergrl,
It's too bad that emerald and indigo couldn't work things out.

I trust all those colors are in a crayola 64 box.
Oh, Doug,
Of course, they are.

What a daunting task, to use words to describe music. Yet you did it, in a beautifully lyrical, imaginative way. I can hear the song.
Betty,
Thank you for your enthusiastic response. It means so much to me.
I'm glad you can hear the song. I wonder whether it's the same one I'm hearing. :)

Liz
Everytime I read this I like it better. It's so YOU. Thank you for posting it for all to sing with you.
Now I remember where I saw it. It was over at Trée's place! (right?)
Thank you Garnet,
I might not have posted it, were it not from the push from you.

'From the silence came the indigo melody

Beautiful.
