Sunday Symphony

There’s a magical little world

Hidden in the pockets of silence

The quiet moments when you first open your eyes

Beginning breathes greeting you with warmth

Soft fabrics caress you into today

Stand up

Feel the fibers of the carpet touch your toes

Hugs the sole, feeds the soul

Look out the window

Watch the shadows dance and wave hello

The glow of the sun as she washes over you

Make your way to the kitchen

There’s a great view of the blocks’ yards

Vivacious greenery for you to see

An avian spectacular- one day only!

Listen to the birds discuss their lunch plans,

Your refrigerator hums along

A glass of water on the counter

All within your reach

Waves of heavenly sea

Crashes against your lips

Drink it down

Breathe in the simple air

That makes this place your home

You’ve built a beautiful kingdom,

A one bedroom in Brooklyn

You’ve done so well

The Earth bellows a beautiful tune

An everlasting symphony

Warm feelings and melodic silence

Muted moments to open you up

For the day ahead

My name is Melanie Costello. The work is titled “Sunday Symphony”. I am working on a small poetry collection that’ll focus on my growth into adulthood and figuring out who I am. I am 24 and my target audience will primarily be those in a similar age range of myself 18-28, though youre never too old to grow and change. Hopefully this work will help people feel ready to change.
