Music

MUSIC

The rythme progresses through me
Reaching to depths unknown
Leading me to another realm
Only I have ever gone

A place of solitude
Where I can be free
For my soul is the melody
To which I shall dance alone
And the beat is my life walk
Opening the walls that have never been shown

Oh how I love to sing
Especially when I hear that old familiar
That takes me back to the day
That I could just proceed along
No cares, no worries, just me and the world
Being free...... to my song

How many memories are wrapped up within tones
That have touched our lives 
How many people can we recall
With just one sharp# climb
Or with just one flat fall

The power of our melody is our own
No one can hum it 
No one can take it
Because our life walk is our song

We can take this empowerment as high as we want
Or we can take it to the lows
No matter how we play it 
It still grows

With each and every encounter
Down our blessed path
The music follows
With our every step

So embrace your sharps and flats
Knowing that it is helping you
Through this turbulent ride
Sing it loud and don't be ashamed
For your song knows you are doing your best

Don't let the bar line tell your ending 
Keep the melody flowing
Continue your lines without cares
And when your curtain rides low
And the rythmes come to a sway
Just look at the pages before
To where you started from
And to how you have become so much more today

Keep the music alive....even with a hummm

Love your connection with music. Have a story of a child who can only communicate with a flute. So keep on writing!

I love your use of metaphors in your poem, Tammy. That is interesting to me that you also love to sing. You are very multi-talented as well as being inspirational and generous.

I envy musicians and singers. It must be a blessing to be connected to the universe in this way. I have no doubt that it has its challenges as well. Still what a wonderful feeling of transcendence when that perfect moment is experienced.

Yes- the second verse touched me as well. I absolutely love music... It's my life. I'm hoping to get into a music college when that time comes. Thank you for sharing this poem- it was really nice and a pleasure to read.

Nice tribute to music here. My late father was a musician - you might want to take a look at Paul's Gone - which is a tribute to him. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
