Welcome to Moondustwriter Thursday.
I'm going to change things up today. I'm feeling in the wintry mood. Early in 2010 I responded to a poetry prompt. The prompt instructed us to write a poem/prose based on the inspiration of the music. There are many ways this can be done. You can close your eyes and listen then return and write. You can write with your eyes closed - Ha or write with your eyes open. Here's the kicker once you walk away form the poem and the song there is no more editing. The thought is that your poem is at its purest most inspired form. You may just write a series of words speaking of your inspiration. Please use the musical inspiration of one of my favorite contemporary composers George Winston. Because both songs are long you can opt on just half of one song. If you are brave , you may want to try your hand at both.Enjoy the quiet that time to listen and write affords - I am.

I chose to write my poem on the Walking in the Air piece
The Snowflakes Have to Fall
the snowflakes have to fall
snowflakes have to fall
today
*
they're making for me
make for me
make for me
an imprint
*
*
the snowflakes have to fall
snowflakes have to fall
today
they once were in my mind
once were in my mind
faraway
*
*
then I didn't know
the painful feel of snow
the painful feel of snow
I was in a dance of your warm romance
sun's rays
*
the snowflakes have to fall
snowflakes have to fall
today
*
forever thy will fall
forever they will fall
on my life
*
*
walking in this life
I feel the chilling strife
frozen in this place
without your warm embrace
memories of warm arms
wrapped in mine
wrapped in mine
against
the night
*
the night
*
your soft lips
pressed to mine
they were
all I knew
they were my
sweet sun rise
our sweet
Pas De Deux
our sweet
Pas De Deux
***
Our dance slowed
she strummed your cords
she- knowing right words
cords pulled at you
breaking me in two
breaking
apart
*
pulled strings of your heart
you fought to hold me
the pull of brilliant reds and oranges
her fingers were too strong for you
her beauty was a masterpiece
you looked me in the eyes with pleas
and said goodbye
tears a trace
I saw the rivulets
on your face
and
*
I saw the rivulets
on your face
and
*
I said my sincere goodbye
a smile I surely did not feel
The winter has become my cherished friend
enfolds me
in
its white
*
*
I am impervious to the cold
icicles of life
my friends
*
*
Summer memories hold me
in that dream
of your smile
of your smile
my dear
ever in here
ever loved
ever mine
ever loved
ever mine
*
one day you will hold sunshine
near me
one last
kiss
one last
time
*
the snowflakes have to fall
snowflakes have to fall
today
*
they represent in me
represent in me
decay
*
*
the snowflakes have to fall
snowflakes have to fall
today
*
reminding me of what
reminding me of what
I gave
*
*
yes but as long as they fall
I know your heart of hearts
feels me
too
too
