Music in My Dreams

Text: Poem by Susan H. Bowker

The music in my dreams

has spaces between the notes.

Clear simplicity.

It worries me.

Anxiety of shortened practice sessions haunt me.

I need more time.

I wake to Beethoven

shout Stravinsky

conduct symphonies and choirs

reveling in the complexity

while still avoiding the child’s melodies

of Mozart

waiting on my dream piano.

PERFORMANCE  SUGGESTIONS: Especially effective to audiences filled with musicians. Works well as an encore or with other dream-themed songs.
