A Song of Me

The strings play with passion and soul...
Each chord sings out with another word to hold..
My voice screams with sounds of my heart...
To a ceiling of clouds and feelings never apart...
A chorus of cry's not meant to be seen...
Notes and letters,all scrambled on paper dreams...
This is my song of long walks and restless nights...
My heartbeat is my bass and my mind is my sight...

You always write from your heart and have a melodic quality in your poetry. Indeed, this poem could be used to describe the Michael we all know and love. My favorite line is "A choris of cries not meant to be seen." And my desk is littered with notes and letters "all scrambled on paper dreams." Very nice! Love, Carolyn
