He changes hearts. [my first poem, #TEDxRVA influenced.]
Take us away.
Gutteral. Visceral.
Music. Share.
Feel it. Let it go.
Why are you here?
Be the first to stand.
Be infectious with your energy. Your laugh.
Laugh louder. Clap bigger.
Go deep within yourself.
Go deep in your heart and soul.
What are we changing?
Feel it in your body.
Feel the change. Visceral.
Tension. Balanced with tranquility.
What does it mean to go deep?
Remove the cataracts.
So you can see. Vision.
What picture is he painting?
Vibration. Chapel bells.
Organ. Organic.
Vibration is disruption.
Disruption is the journey. Waterfalls.
Water rushing. Tears. Calm.
Water rushing. Feel the tears.
Tears. Breathe. Exhale.

Note: I had drafted these words while listening to Andy Stefanovich introduce Elew, and while Elew was playing an interesting mix of classical rockjazz at the piano, or in the piano (ha), at the #TEDxRVA event. I wanted to write a blog post from the words but it didn’t feel right. The idea came to me this week to write the words, pretty much as I sketched them in my notebook, into a poem. Maybe I’ll do something with them later. Or maybe I’ll just let them be. I’ve never written a poem before but my grandmother and my uncle enjoyed writing poetry so maybe it’s family infused.
