04 February 2012 - Shake It Out - sonnetto rispetto

Another inspired by a Florence song; ‘Shake it Out’.  This one says that after the pain of heartbreak, if the song can be sung and closure be had, once you’ve shaken the past off or out, that a new breath awaits beyond the crying.

04 February 2012 - Shake It Out - sonnetto rispetto

They say to shake it out, just let it go,

I have a playlist made for broken hearts,

but any movement that I make will know

I’ve cheated tunes before and failed to start;

there’s only some that reach my pain and grow,

there’s very few that never leave a scar.

Release the music, make the chorus come,

refrains delve deep and mine for chords of soul

whenever love has littered fields with lies.

Beyond the night of moon there’s days of sun,

and each that’s new will work to make you whole

if breath has shaken life-awakened cries.
