Chain Lightning


Chain Lightning

Remember 

what it felt like

the very first time

finding the heart 

of the sound

beating louder

than mine

 

Now I open 

the door at will

I’m there, inhabited, 

music racing 

through my veins,

chain-lightning, 

until I glow 

with rhythm and joy

 

Money can’t buy this 

but I can share it

show the way in,

open the door

as others have 

for me

 

Looking ahead 

to those I followed . . .

Looking behind

to those following . . .

I am content 

with my place

in the chain
