Music Piercing the Soul
A riff
from and old song
makes it's way
into your heart
Emotions you
had forgotten well
up inside you
The theme conjures
up memories
of friends, lovers
and wine - intoxicated
evenings
The moon overhead
is the same old moon
but you're not
quite yourself
lost in nostalgic
reveries
you move into
a waking dream
ready to touch
the fire
gingerly
Eros and memory
combine
to form
images in the
core of your being
the tones bring
you back
to a time when
life opened it's
doors for you
Things have changed
since then
but the riff
opens up
your mind
Music can
paint the past and the future
Let melody be your guide
The world holds
a place for you
Let the notes
bring you there
where you should be
At the junction
of the past, present
and future
where the real
and the unreal
meet
Casting their spells
in the face of eternity
