Music

MUSIC The rythme progresses through me Reaching to depths unknown Leading me to another realm Only I have ever gone A place of solitude Where I can be free For my soul is the melody To which I shall dance alone And the beat is my life walk Opening the walls that have never been shown Oh how I love to sing Especially when I hear that old familiar That takes me back to the day That I could just proceed along No cares, no worries, just me and the world Being free...... to my song How many memories are wrapped up within tones That have touched our lives How many people can we recall With just one sharp# climb Or with just one flat fall The power of our melody is our own No one can hum it No one can take it Because our life walk is our song We can take this empowerment as high as we want Or we can take it to the lows No matter how we play it It still grows With each and every encounter Down our blessed path The music follows With our every step So embrace your sharps and flats Knowing that it is helping you Through this turbulent ride Sing it loud and don't be ashamed For your song knows you are doing your best Don't let the bar line tell your ending Keep the melody flowing Continue your lines without cares And when your curtain rides low And the rythmes come to a sway Just look at the pages before To where you started from And to how you have become so much more today Keep the music alive....even with a hummm

I love your use of metaphors in your poem, Tammy. That is interesting to me that you also love to sing. You are very multi-talented as well as being inspirational and generous.

I envy musicians and singers. It must be a blessing to be connected to the universe in this way. I have no doubt that it has its challenges as well. Still what a wonderful feeling of transcendence when that perfect moment is experienced.

Yes- the second verse touched me as well. I absolutely love music... It's my life. I'm hoping to get into a music college when that time comes. Thank you for sharing this poem- it was really nice and a pleasure to read.

Nice tribute to music here. My late father was a musician - you might want to take a look at Paul's Gone - which is a tribute to him. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
