Musical Interlude

Nightfall 
                  creeps in
and out hearts are heavy
      from the sorrows of the day
Break the psychic chains!
       let the notes cut through
the pain
          Violins sound sweet
Like a river of molten sugar
   Feel the power of a flute
Crescendos, decrescendos come 
and go
       feel the brass and the beat of
the kettle drums
       Rythm, and melody 
surround you
     Every atom in your being
Responds to the tones
      of the eternal chorus
singing it's heart out
      You are finally free!

Letting music overwhelm you , so much better than being overwhelmed by stress. I see way back here no comments. Perhaps it is becuase comments this far back have been deleted. I sure hope others got to see this elegant poem. LUv, Andrea
