Tap.
Tap.
A tentative pointer,
Quivering,
Caressing shyly,
The 26 keys to enlightenment.
Each tap,
Radiating skyward,
Showering wisdom,
To brethren.
Choreographing,
A thunderous stomp.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Marching to the devils’ lair,
Shattering sordid stories,
With resounding resonance.
Thanks, oh seminal finger,
For revealing to me,
The freedom dance.

THE FREEDOM DANCE…
Anantha:
You had me chuckling with anticipation.
Good verse.
You align thoughts and words so very well.
Thank you for sharing with me and other publics.
I have ADHD and sometimes need little things to refocus my attention. plinko has been a surprising helper. When I feel overwhelmed, I play for a few minutes and somehow it clears my head just enough to continue with my day. It’s not therapy — but it helps in its own quiet way.
