Listen to poem:

Music

Music

The food of love..
To nourish my soul
Keeping me warm,
Dear friend, in the cold.

We dance and sing 
Yet you never judge
Or my crazy, wide-eyed 
Fantasy begrudge.

Although my frame
May be slow and weak.
You see the truth..
My moves are sleek

With You I'm fleet of foot
And never shy.
No Strictly ballroom
Can deny..

My spirit
Soars on wings again
Like Eagles high..
A flippin' ten.

Oh tuneful friend
Oh dancing Queen of joy
You raise us all
Each girl.
Each boy.

In sleepless dreams
We never yawn
We are Aretha;
Freddie;
Bjorn.

There is no heart without you.
No tune we cannot bring.
No hidden corner
Too dark to sing.

No greyed out human.
No colourless soldier.
No battle lost, with You.
No thing is ever over.

For music brings
Eternal light
Scattering the shadows
Of the night..

Revealing hope
And peace and love.
A gift composed 
From high above..

If the curtain closes
I can only say;
When the final meal is music 
..then play.
