Hi all, sorry I'm later than usual but am really busy with my Airbnb bookings, which is great news, but also doesn't leave much time for anything else, but mustn't grumble. :) Continuing with the art by Theo Michael and words by Chris Christodoulou theme, here is this months offering. If you like the art work or want to see more, go to Theos website here: www.artbytheomichael.com Making Music The air was calm and the water still As I walked the beach for time to kill I lay down my blanket and I took a seat I looked past the rocks Oh what a treat. I breathed in deep the fresh clean air Looked up at the sky, didn’t have a care. I sat on a rock and dangled my feet In the cool water to ease the heat. I sat until my head was clear When suddenly, music I could hear I looked around me for to see But nothing was there, where could it be? I listened harder feeling confused Am I going mad? To myself I mused. No, it’s definitely music I can hear And I think it’s coming from over there. I looked over the rocks and down at the sea And what a sight confronted me I was taken aback at what I saw Such a sight I’ve never seen before. Three ladies on the rocks below With their instruments the music did flow There were two violins and a cello And the haunting music my mind did mellow. I stared in awe at the scene before me My eyes not believing what they could see I sat in silence and took it all in My heart they had managed to win. One looked up, then the other two They had seen me this I knew I did not try to avert my gaze But what followed is all a haze! I shouted down, “What are you doing? Apart from giving me a viewing” “We are ‘Making Music’” they replied This they surely couldn’t hide. Then the most extraordinary thing My heart to my mouth it did bring The ladies they did turn around And jumped into the sea as the waves did pound. I watched as they swam away Would I see them another day? As I wondered, that’s when it occurred I thought my mind had become blurred. Do you believe in Mermaids? No, neither did I Until I saw their fishes tails Pointing up to the sky! END Chris Christodoulou 9/12/2017 Thanks for reading and see you next month.
Keep healthy. xx
