A Poem Wrapped In Music - By Bob Atkinson
A Poem Wrapped in
Music
by Bob Atkinson
write that emotional
treasure
your life, your
loves, your leisure
tell all your best
stories
describing love,
life and glory
setting for us
location
describe all with
elocution
impact my heart with
fire
by describing
heart's desire
tell stories not yet
told
of your actions weak
and bold
tales of the heroes
gone
to the past or
current born
give me much to
contemplate
while I live that
sedate life
worrying about
tomorrow
with those darlings
or a wife
wrap this wondrous
treasure
in a blanket of
sweet sounds
music for a
lifetime's thought
bringing my spirit
to the ground
call this something
I will know
a word with which to
rest
my weary attention
span
spread out over my
chest
call the content and
the notes
an entire ball of
wax
something I will
know and treasure
from my future to my
past
call it song
