The Sound Stood Still

Poem

By Canuck Scriber Lisa LachapellePublished 9 months ago 1 min read

What's beautiful will transport you every time

To project into a well and expect an answer will leave you wondering

Not I

The build-up is the only moment to live for

Everything else is abyss

Towers from afar are somehow closer to my heart

Growing beyond my mind with a push at the well and a little help from the divine

And the tempo rises

And the eye opens from here to semi-conductors in sound

To places I've never been before

No atoms, no metaphor

Just reality striking its fist
