I Love Music

Posted by Christina Morley |


I love music
Give me a melody
I love music
Someone play me a key

When there’s stress and things go wrong
I need a feel good song
When problems pour down like rain
Music keeps me sane

Spin a lyric
Thread a rhyme
Drum a rhythm
I’m feeling fine

by Christina Morley


A few years ago I flew to Germany alone with my son to my grandfather's funeral. I was afraid to stop over at the Frankfurt airport, because it's a huge airport, so I decided to stop over at the much smaller Hamburg airport instead. I have no problem conversing in the German language and most Germans can speak English, so I wasn't worried about that. I just didn't want to get lost. Well, the Hamburg airport was a mistake of choice. They lacked the German efficiency that one would have expected. Computer systems were down. No one explained what the hold-up was and no one apologized for the delay. We were third in line, but it took an hour before we got to the counter and received our boarding passes. What was worse was that they had no background music playing at the airport. It was awful just standing there staring at the staff behind the counters and their computers. Also, I had my 10-year-old boy with me and what was he supposed to do? Occasionally, I hummed tunes to myself, I was that desperate. With the delay, others missed their flights, but we got to our connecting flight just in time.

Outside, Under the Sky

Posted by Christina Morley |


Outside
Under the sky
I see the rain falling
In the night
Falling
Shimmering
Pierced by a light
Above my head
Falling
Glimmering
Gently washing my face
Washing it of every trace
Of frustration
And discouragement
Falling
Wet and cool
Refreshing
I lift my head
I lift my hands
In the night
To catch the rain
Within in my sight
Falling
Like tiny diamonds
Presents to my soul
Filling me with peace
And making me whole
Falling
Swirling
Tickling my skin
In the darkness of the night
Standing in the rain
With one single light
Above my head
Outside
Under the sky
Free
