Once More

by Jan Toomer

Every morning I awaken to music –
sweet etheric, not from here
music.

Music that calls to my core –
the very essence of my
being.

A feeling of familiarity –
slightly out of reach – aches within
me.

The day breaks  – I cover my head
hoping to stay and keep
listening…

But the day intrudes and pushes the
calming heavenly tunes
away.

So each night I hope that I will awaken
in the morning to those beautiful
sounds…

Once more.
