Sing

                One word that echoes inside my head. Over
and over again. A repetitive chorus of sorts. Not
trying to hide it just wanting the silence to be there.
Yet so much is screaming in my head. The lull of
smoothness. Hoping the day is just soothed by what
is already given.

                 Standing here hoping. May seem as though
forever is shorter but I am willing to do the waiting.
Ah yet what is it I am waiting for? Shrugging my
shoulders. Not aware of the item or weight just know
it is there.

                 So the ouch of the sting of words bouncing
harshly against my temples, make the words slip out
upon an electric piece of paper. My eyes close and
the breathing is even. Softly the fingers slide over
top of the square cushion called "keys". One by one
the letters absorb themselves upon ink.

                Silliness inside what is laying there. A song
or poem. Nevertheless the melody strikes within the
spirit creating another level of joy. So here, sing with
me the praises of love, of kindness and of patience
for our fellow friends and neighbors.

                Sing. Yes even if the songs are quirky. Sing
the lyrics softly, so much so that the mind shouts them
into the spirit. Raise your voice inside an echoing
hallway or out upon the air. Be yourself and enjoy
every second that makes you rejoice in who Jehovah
made you to be.

               Become ever vocal over the happiness that
is raging throughout your veins. Hold tight to the reins
just a little longer and when you think no one is
watching belt it all out, loud and clear! I know I do
when I am in my car or dancing around my
apartment. Such enjoyment I receive in doing so. La.

              So will you sing tomorrow? Hold your head
up and be vocal about what drives you to be
peaceful and happy. Will your voice be heard to
everyone or will all be silence screaming inside your
soul?

               Hmm. All moments such as these I recall
the quirky, uplifting and funny song of Connie Talbot.
I ran across "Happy Song" yesterday while searching
for something on a different subject altogether.

               So laugh, smile and now sing out loud.
Do you think you can do that dear friend? If not for
me then for yourself?
