Delightful Day At the Met

A delightful day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
I saw medieval masterpieces and Plains Indians art
The weather was finally decent here in New York
I purchased a print of Miles Davis - the late, great jazz artist
I will hang it on my wall tomorrow
Music has a powerful effect on consciousness
Does it have more of an effect on the spirit than poetry does? 
Depends who you talk to 
Music and art bring relief from the information barrage
Read that thousands just died in Nepal 
due to an earthquake
in the Asian country of Nepal 
Take refuge - poetic brothers and sisters 
In the words which stream forth from the poets of the world
