SONGS AND MUSIC

Folder: 
JOURNAL #35

through the ears

one feels its gravitational pull

the sweetness of the sway

the reverence in the flow

that lilted quality of the lyrics

music carries us

to undisturbed heights

of aural pleasure

eradicating any previous

harm that befell us prior

to its playing

forever lost in song

becomes the human mind

where romance reaches

limericks lament

rock and roll reverberates

through out the histories

of one's own private story

of life and listening liberty

as the chorus carries

the lyrics bring us back

one by one

to a self we long ago

lost some sense of

touch with

and we find ourselves

captured yet calmed

by the melodic ability

of 'Songs And Music'

to drown us in

such beauty

that without them

we can not experience...............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

was discussing music and lyrics with a friend who is a big fan of such things and this poem came to me from our lengthy conversations over the last few months.
