Music

Salve for the soul in healing sound 
Rhythms balm spreads in division
Lifts the hour high
Explodes the troubled mind to calm 
                                                                                                                 
Birds Interpret song on wild notes 
Orchestrations with crescendos fly
Rise with symphonic melted hearts
Murmuring violins, strings together, meld

Overtures dawn with the song respond
Repeating every measure operatic
Movements operate on scores created
On levels not recorded simply on their merit

Far from civilization primal saxophones blast  
Jazz discordant jungles awake inhabitants
Afraid, stir in the fields, collaborate
Instruments strike a wonder cord, relax  

Falling rain that drops one note away
Stay up any way
Try not to reason with the rain
On pastures pure meandering

Rock and roll misgivings earthquake the dead
Bring them back to life with melodies
Raw streaming strings and drums, melodic sounds 
Listeners never miss a beat, good enough to eat

Green waves of grass will laugh in harmony
Grow closer to an open concert stage               
Quiver for an instant explanation
One that never came
 
Nearer than you will ever be
To solid ground in symphony
Feel a mystery evolve unsolved 
Far from the here and now

There is something in the air not there, perhaps salvation
Far from the common cold, almost a religion, not quite a song
In musics realm, tilted towards the left, the brass section
Trombones for sure to settle the final score finale
