Journey of a song

breathing in, breathing out, just moving on
thoughts expanding -from rivulets to sea
can't remember what I stumbled upon

meeting all, parting with some on the way
listening to all, but my heartbeats' sound
I worshipped the ocean, remained a bay

all the songs I sung came just from a word
maybe a syllable, or a deep breath
then it found a blue sky, flew like a bird

I persisted, found a figure of speech
but married to music, it did not rest
consciousness touched expanded to a beach

Was it only words, or the voice that sung
the spirit before it escaped my lips?
neither my humble heart knows, nor the tongue
 
I accept limitations, and withdraw
universe is larger than what I thought
immortality comes from what you saw

  1. your poem is an intriguing and ethereal rendition – I like the lightness of touch you gave it and the full use of the rhyme sets. Love this:
    “Was it only words, or the voice that sung
    the spirit before it escaped my lips?”

    and thank you for joining in with this prompt
