a singing note

a speck I see afar
my eyes don't waver
nor do I move
moist surroundings still me
I see the dot getting bigger
a dog yelps somewhere
a harmless sound
yet I jump
symphony of my tapping feet
reach my eyes shutting them
when I open again
the speck is gone

"my song, your music, they dance together"

Love this new vein you're on, the kicker of a last line. And so many great lines in this. Very descriptive.

gautami,

Likening a passing eye 'floater' to a musical note to nearby sounds to one's own rhythm to the disappearance of the 'dot'.

Followed it that way, and liked it!
