Open your lips and sing

#TSL Prompt 22

Napowrimo 2021 Open your lips and sing.  Deepika KC Chand

In our darkest periods

We open our lips and sing

Nowadays it’s time again

To open our lips and sing.

Doesn’t matter if you sing 

About a hat you just bought

Or a cow you brought home

The topic really is yours

To own and sing about.

It can be personal

You might sing about your lover

Which is so much better

Than to scream at them,

Open your lips and sing.

You might sing on your way home

Just open your lips and sing.

You might sing on your way to work

For me, I open my lips and sing

To the trees of the forest.

A captive audience makes me happy.

We’ve lost the art of singing

A humble ritual replaced

By screaming and stomping

Time to reinstate it .

So open wide your lips and sing.

Don’t forget if you can share

To open your lips and sing together.
