Space Between

Has every song you ever heard

been carried along

with the birds

the breeze

the rustle of leaves

the spiraling 
flight in the wind 

of earliest times

singing.

Inspiration comes

from where it is now.

Open up somehow

and through the window

frames a new way

to add contentment
 to each day.

One note at a time

one bar, one verse

across unfolding pages,

one song has been sung

through the ages.

As space
 between the notes,

the bird
 flies to another forest,

the 'song lines'
 cross the land,

some days are best

when less is planned.

Just a heart that knows

there is a flow

when life
 is bringing all you know

to present
 a light refrain

as a gift to uplift again.

Just notice if,

you dim your gift

by choosing
 procrastination.

Or practice more

to allow
 peace and stillness in,

to sing
 some joyful notes

as lovely music floats

through you.
