Music of Life

In ripest quiet, shadows of sweet sounds:
Into my fancy's ear
Melting a burden dear,
How "Love doth know no fullness, nor no bounds."
John Keats

Music of Life
"Shadows of sweet sounds", I hear
Connecting memory from soul to ear

Your voice, old friend like
soothing wine, the whispering sea
the wind in pines

"Shadows of sweet sound", I hear
Morning birds I hold most dear

Desire's sighs, a poem's rhymes
The soothing sound of violins

O mystic music of life
sweet harmony of spheres
