Music
Mysterious to me are these melodies
These sounds in time combined and arranged
Metronomically
In mathematical tedium
Exact and true
It’s got to be an anomaly
Absurd to me are these harmonies
And how they arise
To ebb and flow
Creatively, eternally from such confines
With boundless passion
Breaking free
Unceasingly
To dance a jig or clap and cheer
Or stir my heart and nudge a tear
It lifts me up and fills my mind
With memories
Of moments and places and faces
And reminds me
How dull life would be
Without the extravagant gift of it
