Being Sick
There’s silence in my room
I feel the pain all over
my body; helpless as I am.
No appetite to do something
nor eat my meals
my body complains – aches.
Music, the ubiquitous B minor Sonata
of Liszt, beautiful to listen to
provides me with peace, harmony
hath charms to perk me up
hath charms to soothe my soul;
a language far beyond this world.
Oh, what a marvelous inner experience!
yet I still feel weak and dizzy
with all my medicines to cure me;
I’m really sick; knocked down
pray that God may heal me
so I can function well again.
