Hanging from a heartless hook, you remain suspended
Your structured tubes and strings attaching leave you
Lost in an atmosphere of windless room with hidden song
Solos never to be breathed or whispered disappear
If ere a whiff of paradise does come your sleepy way
Awaken in a dance of joy to birth a melody this day
Written by Joni Caggiano at age 17 – Delighted to have Janette Sande’s photographs to accompany this piece – She owns the rights to all her work, she resides by Seattle, WA
Pretty impressive for 17 – it shows an unusual level of maturity for that age, no wonder your work now is so good.
BTW, beautiful picture – looks like a lovely place, even if the name “Camano” resembles a retro “car”! 🤓

Thank you SB for you kind comment. It means a lot. Yes this was a disturbing time in my life as I was living with two alcoholic and abusive parents, so in a sense I was mature beyond my young years. Thank you for always reading and commenting. Love 💕 You Joni

Good morning, Joni, what a beautiful work for a 17 year old girl. You were fantastic when you were a teenager too.
I really love this poem.

Awaken in a dance of joy to birth a melody this day”
