2010 -- 3.1 (Fall) Poetry

Turn Up the Volume

Laying upon the lawn
Gazing at the night’s sky
So peaceful I yawn
Near by passes a firefly
A noise appears in the distance
A familiar sound
A sound giving joyance
Sinking into my background
Livening up my mood
Bringing cheer into my heart
My ears are glued
To this melody that’s pouring art
A childhood memory set free
Siblings listening in the past
A re-occurrence of tune so softly
Longing for it to forever last
Pleasure flows throughout my veins
As the beat rumbles my ear drum
Hasty lyrics jump out with no constrain
Block out the outside world and turn up the volume
