Weekly Creativity Prompt – Music Lovers

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Prompt: “Have you ever listened to a song and suddenly realized “This song is such a Tower/Emperor/Hanged Man song!”? This activity is based off of a love for music and how we associate music with the world around us. Pick (or randomly draw) five cards from your deck. Then, for each card, pick (or find) a song that you feel fits that card perfectly.”

IMG_0127Overnight Flurries

Like down feathers
little crystals
build to fluff
soft and light
the delicate weight
settles
and turns
the world
pristine
for a short breath
until life
moves on
once again
with the dawn
of a new day

IMG_1668Evening Languor

Dark creeps in
to create
hiding spaces
as gilded clouds
slide by
and the city
shifts from
wakeful bustle
to a whisper
of quiet
on the wind
as lazy hours
of dusk
make nap time
seem inescapable

IMG_1973Winter Play Time

I want to play
in the snow
with you by my side
and we’ll romp
and roll
in tangled limbs
as the time flies by
please kiss me then
for a while
until the world
falls away
and you heat
my blood from within
and I feel
I can thaw the world
with just
one more touch

IMG_1429The Crying Sky

Moisture collects
bit by bit
as it builds
to larger drops
that drip
one by one
to earth
and grow
as they
join together
into puddles
and streams
until in time
the ocean
is made of
teardrops
from above

IMG_1684Missing You

Everything
around me
is so lonely
without you
by my side
your hand
curled on mine
and our fingers
entertwined
and nothing
is the same
without you
I need you
around me
