Morning observations rarely register
as we wake and wander our way
through infant hours.
It takes a moment for
the mind to come alive while
the gravity of the day settles in.
We fail to notice little things,
considerably more substantial days ago,
perhaps once meaningful or spiritual,
now displaced as the second hand
of the wristwatch sweeps onward.
Afford yourself opportunity
to be distracted by butterflies, soon
a scent of lilacs, freesia, even the taste of
spring rain or requisite morning coffee.
In days so rent with common
occurrences, look beyond
what is there.

The LP:
a recipe for
magic, a history
of wait and see,
music trapped
for prosperity.
Yes, there have
been attempts
to unseat its
majesty: tapes –
8-track or cassette,
analogue, digital
discs to MP3.
But vinyl
is still there, a
testament to
longevity. Fate has
tested mortality,
but it has survived
technology.
Drop the needle
in the groove, listen
and believe
music soothes
the soul
convincingly.
