Harmonium

You found me

simplicity,

harmonium,

quiet ***** humming

slow,

softness,

starts,

and the violin follows along

 

And you grow

oh so quickly

and my smile joins you

my body

my toes are tapping

and a man walks sturdy

stepping on your beat

with a smooth nonchalance

 

And I am lifted

my arms raising,

reaching,

and my legs

weightless

 

Enveloped in song

warmth,

lilting,

socks slipping on a wooden floor

clapping along

as your voice grows

 

Strings thrum

and my bones with them

and as you fade I slow

my twirling gentles

but my smile remains,

breathless

cheeks red and eyes

glowing.
