Peeking Inside Einstein's Compass

Thanks to Grace Blair for inviting me to write a poem about one scene in her wonderful book Einstein's Compass: A YA Time Traveler Adventure. It was such fun to write! Below is the artistic way she presented this poem. And Grace also created a YouTube video complete with her narration. Here is that link:

Let It Be

Past music gone from memories—

Lyrics, rhythm and melodies

A blackout caused this mystery.

But one man was immune, you see.

Jack remembers each Beatles song.

Would stealing them be right or wrong?

A songwriter, performer too,

his career going down the loo.

Will Jack hold back these tunes so great?

Get on with it, don’t hesitate!

Fame and fortune then follow him.

His life no longer looking grim.

Yet guilt creeps in a bit each day.

How long can Jack go on this way?

Yesterday mines this gold so well,

we must fall under its sweet spell.

Joy of music in each scene glows.

The Beatles genius through it flows.

And when it’s done, you will still smile.

Just let it be – a film beguile.
