a Monk's Morning Music

i)

searching
seeking that song
the one that compels

that song
prompts, no demands
you turn it up


ii)

tonsured monk head
bald n'bobbing
to big bass beats


iii)

even amidst
the stoplight stares
the tired monk sings

  1. I am mesmerized by that tonsured monk's head bobbing up and down to the music. :)

  2. I suppose we can get lost into meditation in whatever ways we find. Mine is in absolute silence, or soft music, or listening to and watching water, or, in the sky and free flight...lol
    Whatever it takes.
    This is great and made me smile, thanks

  3. I LOVE that bald, bobbing head at the stoplight and the monk, singing. I do the same thing, with my wild gray locks. Happy Friday, kiddo, and may your weekend be a Tired Monk's Dream.

    You really captured something I've experienced but never expressed, well done.

  12. Each morning my music needs vary. It is always a juke box ramble to pick the musical key for the days lock. Today for some reason it began with Willy's--Angels Flying Too Close To The Ground. Who knew? As always your piece is near and dear.

  14. In the moment, if we let it, music can take us away in the most elemental way. I saw this happening in that car at the light.
