That\'s gorgeous and I love your rhythm, I\'ve been to my friends wedding yesterday, so this is even more significant as it is exactly what we all did. My feet look like the hobbit now but I don\'t care, a beautiful and positive way to be. 🌹

I do try - as much for trip prevention as your rich appreciation, Bella. But while I remain upright I shall be mindful of your sage advice.

Beautiful piece, Bella. It reads like a soft reminder to slow down and truly live…not rush past the moments that matter. I felt that, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Mind that wanders, but never grounded - for me the most poignant line. Loved the sustained contradiction. It felt like a flower about to bloom, somehow had to remain un-bloomed (not sure if that’s a word)

Hello, Bella,
A lovely heart lifting poem - the choir of life pelting out the songs of yore with love and togetherness. \'Music is the breath of life.\' According to Shakespeare and I, as I am sure you, believe him. A complete joy to read, truly.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.

Music can bring back such memories. Before my wife passed from this world she was in a care home and they had a music morning which I helped with and the song that became \"my song\" was https://youtu.be/QOXwzvk1WTc?si=eT5sBFmvFSujU0sC.

Forsooth. There\'s a psychological term for the souls who disregard that poignant fact; my best friend has a vignette to relate on the very subject since apparently folks labeled as having \"asperger\'s\" don\'t follow it. Myself saddled with the accusation, I do not so much disregard this fact as I believe there\'s good reason beyond. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.
