Tonight I indulged myself in some freeform art: poetry and music.
Poetry
The North Star has gone out.
Can I guide this boat
by the ambient light
of the Ocean?
The effervescence of the
underwater reef life
provides a radiant glow
but how long will it last?
My crew sleeps while
I, awake, wonder what
tomorrow brings.
Which begs the question:
How did I get on this
damn boat?

Music
Click play. The music you hear was entirely improvised and recorded on an iPhone at my piano moments after writing that poem. I like to believe that the notes on the piano are expressing the same emotions as the poem in a different medium.
Here is my piano
How does this resonate with you?
