Last Friday's Open Mic Night was uplifting and inspiring. We had a great turnout and there were many who took the stage for the first time. Poetry, music, lyrics, and story connect us at soul level. When we do that, magic happens. Next Open Mic at Inscape in Rockford is Friday, June 14. Please join us, whether on stage or in the audience, we all contribute to the high vibe energy.
Christopher Sims, the main man and driving force, tasked me to present a poem so I jotted a quick little something last week. It feels good to dip a toe back into creative writing.
What If
Poetry ain’t for the faint of heart
too much pressure to create great art
But what if just a line or two
strikes a chord for me – or you
What if I dare reveal tender parts of me
wouldn’t that help all of us feel a little more free
Our souls crave to feel alive
so why is it we so often hide?
What if each of us here can feel a little more brave
Maybe it’s not just us we save
Perhaps poetry shows Everyone their worth
and the ripple is felt all across Planet Earth
What if playing with song and verse
expands the whole Universe
Hugs and handshakes are now real and warm and true,
And we convey “I hear you, I see you, I feel you.” Yeah, ME TOO.
A deeper meeting and greeting
The connection no longer fleeting
Poetry rattles the bones of calamity
And brings us back to our shared humanity
Ancient judgements and fears come undone
Finally, we realize WE ARE ALL ONE.
What if.
Much love,
Kelly
