Wallitner Weekly 37

Hello everyone!

A lot of productive things happened recently

This week has been a wonderful change of pace. I have slept in, I have written several potentially settable poems, and I have a few solid ideas for the trumpet sonata I will be writing for my friend!

It was a cool feeling earlier this week when I was asked to write a “Prayer of Peace” and I was able to walk to my bookshelf and pull out several reference books. It was one of those things where I felt like I actually knew what I was doing as a poet because I could pull like four or five books off of the shelf to gain inspiration from.

As I write this I think I should update my poetry page on the website. There’s gotta be a prettier way to show off what I’ve written. Ive also written significantly more than what can be seen on that page.

I’ve got lots of plans for next week too!

More of the same with any luck. I want to keep writing and planning. I feel like I’ve been really productive this past week, I just need to do better at marketing the things I make. But we’re getting there. My goal for the week is three more poems that make me smile. And at least five minutes of music I don’t hate. I’ve been revisiting abandoned pieces and some of its really good! While some of it… was abandoned for good reason haha.

How are you?

I spend a lot of time telling stories in this part of the weekly. But I want to hear from you guys. Many of you I don’t see very often, if at all. So how are you doing?

I wanted to leave you with this “Prayer of Peace” I wrote:

Let me be a voice of peace

Like a river calm and deep

Bringing love and hope to all

When the night is all you see.

Let me be a gentle whisper

When you’re scared and all alone

Let these words raise you up

Like a shelter from the storm

Let me be a voice of peace

Like a garden full and green

Let a field of sunflowers

Cover chaos with their seeds

Let me be a choir of angels

And guard you from your doubts

Singing mercy, mercy find us

Protect us here and now.

Let us be so softly singing

Full of hope and full of life 

Let not this chaos find us

While we sing this lullaby.
