In the Key of Life

Music is a window to the world
   a portal to our hearts
In its key of life, in its ebb and flow
   there beats the finest art




Inspiration for this poem flowed from 
the last lines of Sunshine Smiles' poem,
'My Teacher and Professor,' posted on
           October 08, 2019.

I enjoy your comment, Anne-Lise, and especially how you use the word, 'key.' Bullseye! Thank you, once again, for inspiring this write! Warmest wishes, Gershon

I think this is exceptionally phrased to raise goosebumps that, in my case, completely concur and endorse your content. Music and, I think, also dance are natural, God given emotional companions to not only our mortal pieces but our soul within. Somehow they meet and stir each other thru music. Gem as we poets say (apparently we do), that's what this is. So WELL phrased ... CayCay

I am so thrilled to receive and read your in-depth observations, CayCay. I appreciate the time you make for such quality comments... And thank you so much for making this one a 'gem.' Means a lot to me. Warming wishes, Gershon
