Where to turn, oh friend I ask I chose to turn to you, if you'd be so kind. Though I try hard to describe the beauty heard by deaf ears, fall so short.. seen from eyes so blind. Invited by a melody from the stars, a concert of music makers enthralled.. their numbers standing before me cast down to Earth for you and I their angelic voices recalled. Whether human beings or beings from a higher plain I won't hazard a guess, nor confess, nor grasp.. yet still I ask. Oh, but.. if you were there, if only in this life., a trace. heard from these ears heart lightened in my chest tears streaming down my face. If you still don't understand, I understand if you're troubled, please try to see I'm trying in vain, so you must imagine emotions evoked in music a limited engagement, mimicked.. by a lone toad from a swamp. It's me. Even now try to recount the magic in moments.. turn away, not from beauty nor music, but strife.. hold onto a miracle, a million miraculous moments in eve of evening.. in life.

Simply breath taking, especially the line 'imagine emotions evoked in music' and how that ties in to the lone toad in the swamp, those small miraculous moments do go so quickly~

How wonderfully you've reached out to a friend in these heartfelt lines. The emotions you express are as genuinely beautiful as the ocean view. I don't fave many poems, but this one... yes.
