The silken shawl of snow
Shimmers and burrows
Seeping into the curves
As light caresses you
Threads weep slowly
Then cascades into
Streams of glistening white
What inspires one to write? For me it is an irresistible urge to assemble words together that results in the creation of imagery that I experience when I look at the world around me. I can not remember a time that I was not writing, especially poetry. To write a poem is to use the fewest words to create a glimpse into a new world or perspective. By Allison Brown

Supple snow

Raw
Emotions sit upon me
Gulp, gasp
Spinning, sinking
Inhaling each motion
Float with a tide
Rushing over my mind
Make me still
Numb, overwhelmed
Movement, raw
Falling into depths
Dark corners
Hidden thoughts
Building up
Breath, see
Turn away...
Gulp, gasp
Spinning, sinking
Inhaling each motion
Float with a tide
Rushing over my mind
Make me still
Numb, overwhelmed
Movement, raw
Falling into depths
Dark corners
Hidden thoughts
Building up
Breath, see
Turn away...

Moves
Close me eyes
Let the moment
Capture me
Hear the tune
Flow through
My skin
Upon the music
I move
I sway
I become alive
Taste the heat
Of our rhythm
Pulsing through
I exhale, pause
Then it begins
Again and again
Feel everything
When the world
Finds its moves
Let the moment
Capture me
Hear the tune
Flow through
My skin
Upon the music
I move
I sway
I become alive
Taste the heat
Of our rhythm
Pulsing through
I exhale, pause
Then it begins
Again and again
Feel everything
When the world
Finds its moves

Roller Coaster Ride
Let me lose myself in this dance
Let a song take me to a place
Where rhythm is my drug of choice
The music takes me on a roller coaster ride
Easing me into a spiralling sensation of sound and song
Tapping out a groove that leaves me
Swinging long after the tune fades
And the next song takes flight.

Let the music take you
Rhythm soothes the soul
Letting one drift
Along a river of sound
That cleanses the mind
With the sound
I let myself go
Flowing away
As the current rushes out
The beat
Feel the beat
With its rhythm
I drum my fingers
I tap my feet
With the sounds
My soul
Lives
Let the music take you
On a journey of the mind
Let your fingers
Your voice and breath
Create a life of its own
Is the song from within
Or is the sounds of song
Shaped from another soul
Let the music take you
From the place where you are
To where all that surrounds
Drifts away in a haze
And clarity of vision
Allows you to see
The world through the sounds of song
