Doha - Fran Carbonaro

[Larry Robinson]

Doha
 
“Life is an impossible dare”
With eyes fixed on the top of the mountain
Dare to rest in not knowing and gaze instead
On the blank page
         the lump of clay
           the empty stage
    the still fountain

They await only your remembering…..
How you once followed your own curiosity
When each act was an exploration
Back before a thought was an idea
before an urge became a plan

When you were free to doodle, peering
         Into the expanse of expression
         No hesitating, no fearing
It didn’t matter then how you looked
in other people’s eyes

And it doesn’t matter now….
After all our work, perhaps we can just show up,
         honestly and without expectation.
 
So, with a light touch and much tenderness
Let us proceed, one sound at a time,
Stepping inside the world of each song,
Holding it all so gently,
Grateful for an audience.
                                                                          
          - Fran Carbonaro
