After Space: A Round of Yorkshire Gold

It's funny how a round of Yorkshire Gold would bring back the songwriting. Still tentatively titled, mind you. pic.twitter.com/4B1yLyIYkn

The Space, The Wait of a Written Song

On such a run of songwriting, I was. For months those heavenly bodies dip-danced beyond my window to the tune of the constant ticking in my head of some song being nurtured. Unhurried as the stars that seemingly sit but are not seen come morning, my writing process is a slow one, and thus often relegates a song to dwell beautifully in the back of my mind. Somewhere. Certain. Willing. Teasing. Ticking.

After Wednesday’s end came the day when I had to release myself from songwriting. Why? To keep space clear and away from some attentive listening I looked forward to. To really listen to something is to absorb it, inevitably. And there exists a fear of influences affecting the writing. There are only so many melodies to be made, after all. So the clearance sought was necessary. Stars are seen as glorious not only by their light, but also by the space between them.

Then there was the following day. So came the unease. The emptiness of no effort in song, recognized, and the heavens rolled by with no sound. That ticking in my mind was indeed found to be fulfilling. Without it? Dread. 

Oh to listen to another’s ticks!

But I am loyal. 

Ill as I am without you, to my muse I say, “Wait for me. Soon the stars will dance again to our song.”

Lost a Tree

Earlier today, lost that front yard tree.

The grind of an electric axe screeched through my bedroom window, and I thought it too close to hail from a neighbor's place. I was right. Awoke. Looked out the window. There--where heavenly congregations of dark-eyed juncos used to sit-sing grace--an empty space. What once was a hallowed perch now lined the street curb in chop measured pieces of 3 piles slain.
