August Rush Symphony

by Lioness   Mar 20, 2012


I had never played
an instrument
before or even
held one in
my hand -

until now.

Though...
the music was
singing within me
for as long as I
can remember.

I can hear a
symphony of
magical notes
working in harmony
and it's as if the tunes
of nature are being
played just for me.

The music vibrates
my soul at dawn when
the sun rises and it
hums to me until
the sun sets at
dusk.

I am the orphan
prodigy with
nothing and
everything
to lose.

My name is
August Rush -
and I will play
my music until
they can hear
me and finally,
bring me
home.

*** Inspired by the movie "August Rush". A BRILLIANT film which I am in awe of and which has touched my heart completely ***

    --- I have held an instrument in my hands before but I guess music it's not for me to play but to listen and enjoy it. I haven't watch this movie but I just took a small peek at the trailer and it looks pretty good, I will surely watch it some of this days. I like that you use first person instead of third person. It makes the poem feel more personal and it also shows how much you like the movie and that makes me want to watch it even more.

    Mmm... You know that I adore pieces based on stories.. songs.. or inspired by them... ahh! that was magical.

    The ending was something I never expected! And.. August Rush?
    I mean.. beautiful name!

    ^ I THINK I have watched this before... Is it a French movie???? because in class, we have watched something similar... orphaned or criminal children who are taught music.. and make their own symphony.

    but I don't remember the movie's name :P

    I am the orphan
    prodigy with

    ^ This stanza struck me the most.

    and I will play
    my music until
    they can hear
    me and finally,
    bring me
    home.

    ^ woooow. I can see the determination in the boy's eyes...
