An Ode To Music

Music, Oh mysterious sprite! Lift us to the seamless realms of delight Your ubiquitous presence we feel; In the hum of crickets In the silence of the stars In the falling cataracts In the running streams You are there in the roaring sea breakers And under the swift wings of the wind Come as subtle vibes to saturate our being, Winding your way through every sinew Enfold us in your rapturous hold, Raising our souls to the magic of rhapsody Paint intangible pictures in silence, Creating a sensation beyond the reach of words Let our souls savor the taste of ecstasy, Daubing myriad hues on all ugly stains Land us in the sequestered pools of oases, As the blistering sands leave burns on our souls Oh Music! Come and fill me Soak me from foot to crown Like a falling drizzle Like a caressing soft wind Like a marauding sensation Drown me In the subaqueous quietude of the sea Levitate me through ether And lift me up onto the borders of heaven
