You Carry Music Inside You


You carry music inside you
whether you want to or not.

It beats inside your ribs.
It taps inside your feet.
It hums inside your head.

When you hear it clearly,
you will want to share it.

The Last To Believe In Angels

With a terrifying beating of wings, nothing human or natural, neither thunder nor lightning but something

other, force winds winnowed through arrows, to herald not an apocalypse, that would be too easy, but a message unconditionally implacable

that you take responsibility for the future by behaving well in the present,

gripping iron bedposts and cringing as the angel only you could hear swept overhead, transfixed by beauty so piercing that without faith you would have been blinded,

Rilke,

mumbling incoherently as language shredded your throat and you were wounded, made to speak words that were what they named,

enraptured by simple breath in the castle’s tower.

Problem is that you can't really share it because the music is different for each person.
